Lost in the jungle....

Explore the many facets of nature in Karnataka. You will return home rejuvenated
The only biodiversity reserve in the Western Ghats, Dandeli forest, on a clear day, can be a sight for the Gods. Both vegetation and wildlife are abundant here, and the mountain range presents a truly impressive sight. Enveloped by a dense jungle, Dandeli, located in Uttara Kannada district, is a small town with many delights.

The multifaceted landscape and the heavy rainfall have made certain areas unreachable. Just as well. This has helped the area retain its remarkable eco-diversity.

The Western Ghats have an average elevation of 1200 metres here. However, in certain places the range rises abruptly to a height of over 2440 metres. In the forest, river Kali flows unhindered. The gorgeous Kali is great for white water rafting. Check into the Kali Wilderness Camp and put your endurance to the test.

The resort jeep drives up to Ganeshgudi, around 29 km away. Once you get started and as you battle the foam, oars in hand, you can feel the spray on your face and excitement coursing through your veins.

The Nilgiri hills are home to two of the highest peaks of the Western Ghats, Dodabetta, which has a height of 2637 metres, and Makurti, with a height of 2554 metres. To the south of the Nilgiri hills is the 24-km wide Palghat gap, extending from east to west.

Though located in the heart of a forest, Dandeli is not difficult to access. The nearest railhead from Goa to Dandeli is Londa, 45 km away. Hubli, 85 km from Dandeli, is one of the bigger junctions for those travelling from Bangalore/Mumbai. A lot of people prefer to take a bus from Bangalore or Goa to Dandeli.
