Frequently Asked Questions

Does rafting happen in Dandeli town or somewhere else?+

White-water rafting on the Kali River takes place at Ganeshgudi, around 20km from Dandeli town — a common point of confusion for first-time visitors. We can arrange pickup/drop from Dandeli so this isn't something you need to plan around.

Is Kali River rafting safe for beginners and kids?+

Yes. The Short Rafting (1km) route is rated Beginner and is a good starting point for first-timers and families. Every rafter wears a life jacket and helmet, and a certified guide rides in every raft. Longer, moderate-difficulty routes suit rafters comfortable with faster rapids.

What should I bring for rafting?+

Wear quick-dry clothing and secure footwear (sandals with a back strap or old sports shoes). Bring a change of clothes and a dry bag or waterproof phone pouch if you want to carry a phone — dry bags are provided on the longer routes.

Is rafting always available, or does it depend on the river?+

Rafting depends on daily water release from the Kali (Supa) dam. We track live river status and will tell you upfront if conditions mean rafting is paused for the day — check the live status banner on our homepage or call ahead before you travel.
