Dandeli - an Experience not to miss

When we hear about the name Dandeli, the immediate thought we get will be the river rafting experience. In India the number of places we have the river rafting is very limited and in the Southern part of India, this is the most famous place for rafting.  The actual Dandeli is a small town in northern Karnataka and the real fun is in the mountain ranges and places near the Supa Dam reservoir.  

It is preferable to stay at least two nights as it will provide a pleasant stay in a jungle resort and will give time for water activities and sightseeing.  There are plenty of homestay, resorts, and hotels in all budgets. Most of the stay will quote including the water activities package as it is the main attracting there and they have tie-ups with the conducting agencies. In Dandeli, the water activities won't be there all over the year, it depends on the flow of water from the dam. If it is too huge then water activities are too dangerous and will be canceled, so it is advisable to check in advance and plan the trip.

The climate in Dandeli is modest, not too hot or too cold but at night it will be very cold. The mobile network is not so good, only in some places, we get the network and in some places, we will not. We stayed in a stay called 'Greenland Junglestay', it is run by Joshi, a friendly guy help to plan the itineraries well to cover most of the places. Also, speak to him and you will get a good deal for your stay. This stay is having its own farmland where they cultivate pepper, betel nuts. Near to that, we have water stream flows all through the day.
