Start your adventure by taking a scenic drive to Coorg, a dream destination for trekkers. Here you can choose from an array of trekking routes based on your fitness levels and preferences. Brahmagiri, Tadiandamol, and Kotebetta are popular options offering spectacular views of the lush green valleys and hills of the Western Ghat mountain ranges. You can also visit Iruppu Falls to experience the tranquillity of nature, and the Namdroling Monastery to be immersed in the peace of spiritualism.
Drive to Dandeli to indulge in the thrilling water sport of river rafting. The Kali River here offers rapids ranging from Grade 2 to Grade 3, providing a perfect opportunity for those looking for adventure. Rafting through the lush greenery, with sightings of rare birds and animals, is a mesmerizing experience. After rafting, spend some time at the Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can go trekking, bird watching, or simply unwind amid the nature trails.
If you have an extra day, head to Gokarna, located 3 hours west of Dandeli, to indulge in some beach adventure. You can try surfing or paddleboarding at the Kudle Beach and the Om Beach, or go on a banana boat ride or kayaking. However, if you have only one day, options like the Bheemeshwari Wildlife Sanctuary, Hogenakkal Falls, or Kabbaladurga are great alternatives to Dandeli's river rafting experience.
