Revel in an overnight camping and adventure filled experience at untamed Dandeli. The guided tour starts early in the morning around 7 am when you are driven from Dandeli to Ganeshgudi for an hour of bird watching. An expert naturalist guides you through the vegetation where over 350 species of birds reside. After a short interval for breakfast, the rest of the morning would be reserved for mountain biking on bikes specially adapted for the landscape. Enjoy riding through rough and bumpy paths. This would be followed by an hour of lunch and then would begin the enlivening surfing session in the River Kali.
After the invigorating session in the river water, the trek through the thick evergreen foliage of the nearby jungle with a guide well-versed with the route comes next. The final activity is the coracle ride on the river Kali’s peaceful waters when you might spot snakebirds and darters swooping over to catch a fish.
As dusk approaches, you would return to Dandeli and then onto Pansoli forest for the night camping. On reaching the camping site on the river bank, the bonfire is lit around which barbeque and dinner is served.
