Kalirafting, Dandeli, October
to June
(Season may vary a little depending
on water levels)
Kali River, Dandeli
This is the
best way to see the endangered and stunning environment
through which the Kali River flows. The Kali offers a great opportunity
to paddle through numerous, exciting technical
class 3 rapids. The beautiful surroundings are home to a wide
range of wildlife, including a flourishing bird life, in particular
several species of very rare Hornbills. Monkeys, elephants, wild boars,
sambar deer, crocodiles, giant squirrels and even sightings of leopards and
a black panther have been recorded from the boats. The most popular tour is
"The Kali" and is (9 km) long, offering nearly two hours on
the water. There are many great fun rapids
to be found in these incredible surroundings. For the true nature lovers a
"Kali Special" (14 km) is offered for groups, giving two and a half
hours to enjoy the river and surroundings and another hour if you opt for
the sumptuous lunch on the river. Including
transport and briefing both these tours will take up half a day. This is a
really pristine, uninhabited, spotlessly clean and very rare
environment to raft through. A totally unique rafting trip that can
be rated as one of the most beautiful stretches in the world. Since it is
highly endangered and may not be here for many years to come we advise you
to see it whilst you can.
