It's a better option to reach Chandoli a day before and take a halt as per the attached details of accommodations. If you stay , then you can go into the jungle early in the morning since there are more chances of seeing animals. As the day progresses there are less chances. There are sightseeing points in the jungle and take you almost 20 kilometres deep. Also there's a walking track into the jungle.

Then you can come down and proceed to dam you get the permission forms at the base. You can roam all over the dam and properly see the doors of the dam along with the scenic beauty of the backwaters. You can also take your car at the base of the dam along the riverside.

Overall it's a very good adventurous, trekking, sightseeing option.
