Kali Adventure Camp
The Kali Adventure Camp at Dandeli is all about the unique rush of an untamed environment, including canyons, valleys, woods, and swirling, bloated, and frothing white water. This wilderness camp, a large bungalow on the banks of the magnificent Kali River, is all about connecting with nature. Find out how energising being wild can be by taking a walk there. Learn to appreciate the pure excitement of living.
For those who love the outdoors and adventure, there is the JLR Kali Adventure Camp. The camp is set up specifically for whitewater rafting, making it the ideal location. Strict safety precautions are used during the rafting. With river guides who are very skilled and well-equipped, we've honed our reputation as a whitewater rafting destination. Kayaking, coracle rides, bird watching, nature walks, wild safaris, sight-seeing excursions, and more are additional activities. The River Kali is a fickle river. It rules the hills, the woods, and all else it passes through. On one side, you can choose to ride in a coracle while dodging crocodiles and viewing birds. On the other hand, you must contend with rapid currents in a rubber dinghy while holding an oar in your hand with your heart in your mouth. Clearly, the River Kali is everything but gentle! The elusive black panther can be seen in the Kali Tiger Reserve. Our visitors are driven into the Reserve on jeep safaris. The crested serpent eagle, hornbills, yellow-footed pigeons, gaurs, sloth bears, barking deer, spotted deer, and gaur are frequently seen. You'll notice more things if you keep silent. Enjoy the evening while sipping your preferred spirit from the camp's fully stocked bar. Dinners are served mostly in Indian cuisine at the Gol Ghar. However, foods from China or Europe can be provided upon request.
