Well, We all know Dandeli is one of the staycations for the most popular white river rafting. Apart from river raftering, it offers some other water activities ( kayaking, boating, zip-lining, and more ). The main reason people visit Dandeli is its peaceful nature.
Dandeli is located in Uttara Kannada, Hubli is the nearest city you can reach by road, railways, and Airways. The best I could suggest to you is to reach out to Hubli then take a two-wheeler that costs you not more than 600 rupees to enjoy the authentic peaceful nature.
NEXT COMING TO ACCOMMODATION - Speaking about accommodation Dandeli has large areas of forests with over 280 homestays and Dandeli resorts. According to your budget, You will find it however luxurious you want to be in.
Way to the Resort
As it was a group tour, we found a resort named " wilderness resort" which I would say was not as expected. It was already almost dusk as we reached the resort. after reaching we found some inconvenience in the accommodation. Sadly we didn't get more camping tents as we were looking for it. Anyway, we were dozed off as we all were so tired to do anything.
Activities are done as arranged
Next-Day morning after a good healthy breakfast ( Both Veg and Non-veg were arranged), You all get-go check with the sights/ places around Dandeli. Almost people come here to enjoy the adventure activities which is also a major thing to enjoy but I say to explore the town.
First, we headed to "Moulangi Eco-park" which is situated amid a forest and on the banks of the Kali river covered with Bamboo trees, beautiful rock formations, cliffs, and a set of natural trails. This park is spread over all acres and is the nicest place to hang with. If you really into adventures you can skip this place.
Next, we reached out to this place which is "Crocodile park". This park comes under the Dandeli wildlife sanctuary. Dandeli Crocodile park provides you the privilege of coming in contact with nature and enjoy the unique experience of crocodile spotting.
In the mid-day, we headed to Kali river which is most famous for white river rafting and other more water activities. They will offer you 3 kinds of rafting ( small, mid, and long).
For small, it costs you 600/-
For mid, it costs you 1200/-
For long, it costs you 1600/-
Kayaking
Kayaking is a pretty fun activity when you get only seater kayaks but it's also tiring if your arms are not very much strong. For a two-seater, there will be a limit border to the end. so before you start kayaking you should think and head to take on it.
Boating and Natural Jacuzzi
With boating, they take you to the natural "Jacuzzi" point, and after Jacuzzi, they take you back to the same point. Boating isn't a fun thing, it's Boring! Just watching the people around you is a boring thing right?
On the other hand, Jacuzzi is as fun as dangerous too! It isn't as calm as it looks in pictures.
The whole scenario: people sit around and enjoy the water flow. expect the rocks sharp and the water isn't light either. when you settle down on the rock, then I would say the feeling is pretty adorable.
Some people get down in the water to take an enjoyable bath. The only thing when you get into the water is the swimming you should know and the grip keeping
Here is a thing to let you know that You will be allowed to take your own Go Pro with extra charges if you want to put it in for filming and taking pictures.
Cycling
Cycling is one new experience as you will be free to pass every wooden route of Dandeli Jungle. Cycling is stress relief and the right thing to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. You don't have to pay extra for it, cycles are provided by the homestays and resorts.
Cycling at Dandeli is an excellent adventure thing that anyone can do.
