Adventure Activities in Dandeli
White Water Rafting - white water rafting is a challenging recreational activity using an inflatable raft to navigate the Kali river and enjoy the scenery all along. Rafting is a thrilling and exciting sport that you will remember for a long time - The rafting trips are run by Trained professional guides and wetsuits and life jackets and helmets are provided for safety. - got some courage - try this and you will come out more confident then before

Rappelling - A descent of a vertical surface of a 200 feet cliff by sliding down a belayed rope while facing the surface and performing a series of short backward leaps to control the descent. - Rapelling is done under expert guidance of train professional guides with all safety equipment in place - want to conquer you fears - do this couple of times.

River Crossing - Similar to Rapelling but more difficult as there is no gravity to pull you down - here you have to use you hands to move horizontally across the river to the other side and back - got some bicep/triceps and deltoid muscles - use them here
Camping - Camping in our own Tents. Enjoy the night around the bonfire and gazing at the stars in the night.
Jungle Night Trekking - Here we delve deeper into the jungles with torches. here you may get to see nature, animals and nocturnal birds at night - what about ghosts ? lets find out
Bird Watching - Awaken to a thousand birds singing and enjoy a morning trek and listen to natures music and the tunes that will last for life long.
Natural Swimming Pool - Kali River got many beautiful, healthy, ecologically diverse and safe natural water pools where you can swim - watch out it can be cold.

Deepak, thanks a ton! When you say 'during the trip', does that also include the onward bus journey to Dandeli? I just need to work a few hrs during Fri. night which is when we would be in the bus.
@Naresh we had airtel signals almost most of the time during trip so this can help u to come online..
By any chance, did anyone carry a laptop and found network while going to Dandeli?
I am stuck with a project next week which requires just 2 hrs on Fri night. I was hoping if I could work during the bus journey (for next week's Dandeli trip) and get to enjoy the trip, rather than not going at all for just two hours of work.
