Distance | About 460 km one way |
Drive time | About 9 hours |
Total drive | About 1,000 km over 3 days |
Rafting season | About October to May |
Before you go: Bangalore to Dandeli distance.
The rafting stretch starts near Ganeshgudi, upstream of Dandeli, and is run by licensed operators with guides and life jackets. Book with your resort or an operator in advance; rafting depends on the water released from the dam and stops in the heavy monsoon. Kayaking and coracle rides are gentler options for those who do not want to raft.
About 25 km away inside the forest, a tall granite rock with the Kaneri river cutting through it. Steps go down to the water; the path is easy but wet near the river.
A climb of a few hundred steps through the forest to a limestone cave with a natural Shivalinga inside. Carry a torch and go early before the heat.
A short stop at the viewpoint over the reservoir on the Kali before the long drive home.
About 9 hours back through Hubli and the Pune highway. You reach Bangalore around 9 PM.
