About Kali River Dandeli

The inimitable rush of untamed terrain – gorges, valleys, forests, and swirling, swollen and frothing white water: that’s what the Kali Adventure Camp at Dandeli is about. A sprawling bungalow on the banks of the majestic Kali River Dandeli, this wilderness camp is all about making a connection with nature.

The Kali River Dandeli flows through Uttara or North Karnataka for about 184 km before merging into the mighty Arabian Sea. The origin of the river is in Diggi, a small village in North Karnataka. The river is named Kali, meaning black, due to the manganese-rich river bed.
