Dandeli River Rafting

Dandeli River Rafting is conducted in River Kali in around 6 official locations designated by Tourism Department of Karnataka. Rafting and white water rafting are recreational outdoor activities which use an inflatable raft to navigate a river or other body of water. This is often done on white water or different degrees of rough water. Dealing with risk and the need for teamwork is often a part of the experience. 

Distance and Duration: Kali River in Dandeli offers a rafting stretch of up to 12 kms. The stretch of river is covered with dense forests, offers several grade 2 (simpler to negotiate) and grade 3 (needs a bit more effort) rapids making the rafting experience exhilarating, adventurous and memorable. The 12 km rafting excursion lasts 3 to 4 hours end to end, including transportation from the resort to the starting point.

• No locker rooms are available near the rafting start point. Do not carry anything valuable to the rafting venue.
