Discover the Magic of Dandeli 3 Days Adventure Itinerary

Surrounded by dense deciduous forests along the roaring Kali River in northern Karnataka, Dandeli is the premier adventure playground of South India. Renowned for exhilarating Class III white water rafting, kayaking, natural river jacuzzis, and dense wildlife sanctuaries, Dandeli attracts adventure lovers, college groups, and corporate offsite teams.

The Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary is also one of the few places in India where all four species of hornbills—including the majestic Great Pied Hornbill and the Malabar Pied Hornbill—can be seen in abundance.
