Perfect Dandeli Itinerary for 2 Days

dandeli travel blog, dandeli itinerary

Dandeli itinerary:  There are many spots clustered tight together to visit in Dandeli. 2 days is sufficient for a sweet vacation in Dandeli. Or at least to visit all the must-see places.

With most places to experience by the Kali river Dandeli, it’s best to stay in one resort and enjoy all the activities nearby. Visiting Dandeli with my friends was one of my best short trips of 2 days.

Thus, I daresay two days is enough for visiting Dandeli. However, it’s great to stay longer to stay away from the hustle-and-bustle of the world. After all, Dandeli is very  peaceful.

Before we get into the trip, let’s get into the most important part of travel – packing your bags!  Here’s how to plan out your Dandeli itinerary .

Table of Contents

Dandeli itinerary: What to Pack

For two days, here are some items you’ll need:

  • 2-3 sets of clothes – I recommend light summer clothes. Heavy wet clothes (like jackets) are difficult to return with.
  • Plastic bags  – for those wet clothes.
  • First-aid kit/Bandaids  – these come in handy for treks.
  • Flip-flops/espadrilles/sandals – or something you can take on and off quickly.
  • Sun-screen lotion

A backpack with these items is a minimum requirement.

Follow my Instagram @justmadman for more crazy stories straight to your feed!

Dandeli Itinerary for 2 Days

Since I live 50 kilometers away from Dandeli, it isn’t troublesome to travel. However, most tourists come from Bangalore and Goa. So book your stay much earlier. Dandeli is a popular tourist spot – it’s difficult to get a homestay on spot.

I’ve visited Dandeli once and I get why it happens; Dandeli is the perfect getaway (and budget-friendly) spot for most under the serene dense forests.

Those who carry valuable items on travel, also consider purchasing travel insurance as it helps cover expenses when you’re visiting a dangerous or theft-prone spot.

Dandeli is safe, but you’ll be around the Kali river a lot and you’re sure to get soaked while rafting. Make sure to keep extra pair of clothing.

1. Check-in Resort in Dandeli

Arrive early in the morning and check in at your resort, homestay, or wherever you’re residing at. It’s best to check in before you visit any place. Leave your bags behind and carry a smaller pack.

Rafting or any of the other activities, be sure to carry a change of clothes while stepping out. Sunscreen lotion also comes in handy – it’s optional.

Dandeli is a jungle-ish area alright. But a pair of flips-flops would do better than shoes. With water activities, you’ll be taking off your footwear often. And you’ll mostly be out here for water activities, so the sandals or flip-flops (even better) are suggestible.

Dandeli travel blog

Transport:  Plan out your transport firsthand or request your accommodation for transportation facilities. For your own transport arrangements, a four-wheeler is recommended. Most dandeli trips are available as package trips more or less the same as its only 2 days. The reliable part of package trip is the transport itself.

The last time I visited Dandeli from Bangalore via a package, transport wasn’t a problem throughout.

It gets difficult if your bike breaks down, and services are not available for kilometers. The best option (and the one we chose) is to hire a chauffeured car. The drivers in Dandeli know their roads and help out better in case of emergencies.

Another post to check out: The Ultimate Dandeli Travel Guide

2. Start with Water Activities

Dandeli itinerary . After unpacking at your stay, go straight for water activities (this doesn’t include rafting). This differs in situations. Sometimes, your resort can suggest you start with rafting right away. You can go with that and then come back to water activities later.

I’ll elaborate on why rafting timings change later. Anyway, here are the other water activities:

  • Jacuzzi bath
  • Coracle ride
  • River crossing

kayaking, dandeli itinerary

Kayaking was the first one we went for. Brace up your arms as you’ll need a lot of strength to push (kayak) yourself through the water. Zorbing seemed fun too, except we were already tired with kayaking, so we hit the jacuzzi bath . A reminder: It’s best to apply sun-lotion before you go in at noon.

The sun made sure we burnt down to medium brown when we came back.

coracle

All these activities come together in the same place. It shouldn’t be a long drive from your resort. In fact, some great riverside resorts like the Whistling Woods are right next to the river.

We paid for all the water activities beforehand, so we just had to wait for our turns. Speaking of waiting, whichever opportunity you get first in these activities, go for it!

We decided to go kayaking first and we had to wait for 20 minutes! Anyway, all these fun wet activities will end by half of the day.

You’ll be exhausted (and contented) by then too :)

3. Visit Dandeli Backwaters and Tribal Shop

We visited the backwaters on our way back to the resort from the river. Either way, it’s a lovely spot. When we visited it, we couldn’t drive through it. So we decided to walk through the path while the car drove around the backwater walls.

dandeli travel blog

There isn’t much to see here, but with the huge stones on either side of the road, you can great pictures.

Towards the end of the backwaters road, you’ll find a Tribal shop with local products made in Dandeli. Check that out for souvenirs as well. Later, we got back into the car which was already waiting for us.

Another post for you to check out:  Shirley Falls Guide

4. Campfire and Dinner

Enquire about your bookings prior to your travel. We had our dinner and breakfast for the following morning included in our package. Additionally, we had hired the car only for one day (to take us to the river, backwaters, and back to the stay).

What they provide for dinner differs from one homestay to another. To pick your perfect homestay, here are my favorite budget homestays in Dandeli to pick from. By the time we settled down to eat, we were too hungry to mind the food. But we had an amazing time.

Then we had a campfire. This is the activity you’ll see on most websites offering Dandeli adventure services. But it isn’t. At least it wasn’t for us. The campfire was already set before we arrived and we sat around it and talked. That was it!

5. Gear up For Rafting

As mentioned earlier, go rafting as early as possible – before you head to Dandeli, ask your resort or guide about its availability.

Rafting is possible when there is a strong current . Sometimes, it isn’t available. Dandeli is known for rafting so don’t miss it out. Make sure to ask your booked resort/homestay if rafting is available about a week before your visit.

Furthermore, there are two options for rafting. One is short-range rafting and the other is long. The time you spend here differs. The short-range rafting (usually 1 kilometer) doesn’t last long while the long 9-kilometer range can fill in your whole day.

You’ll need another change of clothes here.

6. Trekking and Cycling

Trekking and cycling are optional here. They aren’t the specialties to experience in Dandeli. But more into bicycles myself, I’m looking forward to cycling there soon!

For trekking, there are some popular spots to check out like the Syntheri Rocks and Sykes point. For a family trip, however, camping is a better option :)

Accommodations in Dandeli

Dandeli Itinerary: There are many stays to choose from here. Some lush village resorts are great for family trips and others are perfect for solo travelers and people seeking budget accommodations.

I visited Dandeli with a group of friends a few years ago, after our 12th graduation. And now we’re on our different streams, all physically distant from one another. Dandeli is our number one go-to spot to catch up on old times.

Anyway, we stayed at the Dandeli Jungle Camp where it cost less than 3k including all activities. It was a budget stay cozy for our needs. There are many similar stays as such:

More things to do in Dandeli for Travelers

This is something I dream of doing one day in Dandeli. Did you know that the Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary is one of Karnataka’s largest sanctuaries?

So it’s a dream to step in and photograph the wildlife species and of course, the vast scenic falls, hills, rivers, and forests. This isn’t part of the 2 day Dandeli itinerary. This is only a suggestion for travel enthusiasts.

One great way to check out this sanctuary is by booking a Dandeli jungle safari ride where they take you deep into the thick forests. You can expect to catch glimpses of a tiger or a black panther!

Dandeli Itinerary: Conclusion

That would sum up your Dandeli itinerary. So two days and one night’s stay is perfect for a vacation in Dandeli. You’ll miss out on either the water activities or the rafting for anything less.

The town has emerged as a prominent destination for river rafting and water activities in Karnataka , offering a unique experience at more affordable prices than Goa.

Prior to gaining fame for its resorts and water activities, Dandeli was known for hosting Karnataka’s largest paper factory, the West Coast Paper Mills in Bangur Nagar – Dandeli. This factory remains a significant source of employment for the local population.

History of Dandeli, Karnataka

Dandeli has a rich history of attracting settlers, with people from various states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Jammu, and Kashmir finding employment and making Dandeli their home. This diverse mix of people has earned Dandeli the nickname “Mini India.”

The Love Story Behind Dandeli’s Name

The history of Dandeli is a captivating tale, much like classic love stories such as Romeo and Juliet or Heer and Ranjha. This town owes its name to an intriguing love story involving a man named Dandelappa.

Dandelappa, a loyal and humble servant of the Mirashi landlords, found himself in a unique love story. He fell in love with the lady of the Mirashi family, and she reciprocated his feelings by proposing marriage. However, due to his unwavering loyalty to the landlords, Dandelappa declined the proposal.

In an unfortunate turn of events, the lady falsely accused Dandelappa of inappropriate behavior to her brothers. Believing her, they tragically killed Dandelappa, separating his head and body. The present-day existence of two temples dedicated to him marks the locations where his head and body were laid to rest.

And so, the town was named ‘Dandeli,’ forever memorializing the tragic love story of Dandelappa.

How Dandeli Started to Develop:

Dandeli, a town with a current population of over 71,000 people, is a harmonious place where individuals of various religions like Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jains, and Sikhs live together peacefully and happily. However, in the 1930s, the scenario was quite different. At that time, Dandeli’s population was only 515, and most of its residents were employed in the forestry department and government sawmill.

During this period, the inhabitants comprised diverse communities such as Konkanis, Devali, Marathas, Kuruba, Lambani, Africans, and Muslims. The settlement was situated on the banks of the Kali river and transformed into an industrial town with the establishment of several companies.

The Indian Plywood Manufacturing Company, which is now closed, was one of the early enterprises. Subsequently, the Lalbhai Ferro-manganese Factory and the renowned West Coast Paper Mill, initiated by the Indian businessman S.K. Bangur Group in 1955, contributed to the town’s industrial development.

Other notable establishments included the Indian Saw Mill and various small industries. The Karnataka Power Corporation also played a significant role in constructing power-generating dams along the Kali river. This period marked the development of Old-Dandeli.\

West Coast PaperMill, Dandeli – Contribution to develop this place:

The recognition of Dandeli by people across India can be attributed to the presence of the West Coast Paper Mill. As news of employment opportunities spread, individuals from various places began migrating to Dandeli. Over the years, Dandeli earned the reputation of being the primary employment hub, especially due to the West Coast Paper Mill. With time, the mill expanded, eventually becoming the largest paper mill in Karnataka.

As more people settled in Dandeli, a ripple effect occurred. Some individuals, inspired by the town’s growth, ventured into starting their own businesses. This gradual development process has led to Dandeli emerging as the adventure capital of South India. The town’s journey from being recognized for the West Coast Paper Mill to becoming a thriving hub of employment and entrepreneurship showcases its remarkable transformation over the years.
