About Dandeli

Dandeli is a paper mill town on the Kali river that has become the adventure base of north Karnataka. White water rafting on a 9 km stretch of the Kali is the main draw, with kayaking, coracle rides and night camps run by resorts along the river. The Dandeli wildlife sanctuary, part of the Kali tiger reserve, has jeep safaris and is one of the best places in India to see four hornbill species. Dharwad and Hubballi are about 60 km and 75 km away.
