Rafting on Kali River:
Rafting is a must do activity in Dandeli. Most of the rapids in kali river are of 2-3 grade difficulty and considered as best for the beginners. Even non-swimmers can fully enjoy rafting in kali river. For more information about the rafting please visit http://www.mytraveltales.in/2011/12/rafting-in-india.html
Kayaking:
Kayaking in Kali river will be a memorable experience and you will feel relaxed while doing kayaking. Dandeli is the only place in south india, where we can try kayaking and if you interested, you can learn kayaking completely. If you are expert in kayaking and swimming, then try kayaking in rapids. White water kayaking, is more dangerous and adventurous than white water rafting.
Coracle ride:
Experience the coracle ride in kali river. It is very relaxing and don't expect the ride to be adventurous. There is another ride called crocodile ride, where they will take you for crocodiles spotting. But the crocodile ride will depends on the water level as well as the season. 
River Crossing:
River crossing in dandeli is not so adventurous for the experienced, but the beginners will definitively enjoy the activity.
Rappelling:
You get to climb the steepest of cliffs and come careening down suspended by all but one rope! One wrong step could mean trouble – may be not severe, but at least a few bruises and the likes. However, there is no need to worry since your trainers take care of everything. Come into the world of rappelling on the stark rocky cliffs of the Sahyadri mountain ranges here at Dandeli.
Syntheri Rocks:
Syntheri rocks is about 50km from dandeli and a must visit place in Dandeli. It is a 300ft tall monolith of granite located deep inside the thick Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary. With the Kaneri River gushing ferociously by its side, the Syntheri Rock is a spectacular sight. You can see hollow places on the rock which are the effects of erosion here. In the innumerable nooks and crannies thousands of pigeons have made their homes. You can also see bee hives hanging dangerously on these rocks. A thrilling jeep ride in the deep forest followed by a walk will get you to this beautiful place.

  2. This is one of the first blog that I’ve seen that gives a complete picture of what to expect in Ganeshgudi. Thanks a lot. I’m heading to this place with my family for some trekking and birdwatching over the Diwali weekend.

  3. Excellent detailing on the pricing and activities. Just wanted to add a bit of info. A lot of people visit Ganeshgudi, not just for bird watching but also for river rafting Such people must know that rafting activities are highly dependent on the water release from the Supa Dam. Of course, other water activities like coracle ride, kayaking, etc., are available year round. There is also this concept of natural Jacuzzi where you get to experience the shallow gushing waters amidst rocky surface; it’s a really nice experience. Another thing, entry to wild life sanctuaries is time-bound, so be prepared for it.

Periyar forest is one of the finest wildlife reserves in India, and spread across the entire district are bewitching plantations and captivating hill towns that hold great opportunities for treks and mountain walks.                      We started from Trivendrum at around 2 P.M and reached Thekkady by 8 P.M which is at a distance of 250 km.
