Dandeli Wildlife
Sanctuary |
|
| |
Undulating
streams, whispering bamboo, diverse wildlife, and innumerable
trekking trails make Dandeli a dream destination. River
Kali and its tributaries, Kaneri and
Nagajhari, meander through the moist deciduous and semi-evergreen
forests.
The Dandeli forests also play host to the graceful Virnoli
Rapids, the magnificent Supa Dam, the sinister Syntheri
Rocks, Nagajhari Viewpoint, the Kulgi Nature Education
Camp, the Kavla Caves with their Shivling-like stalagmites,
and Sykes Point which offers a stunning view of the
Kalinadi Valley.
