Dandeli is an ideal weekend getaway in north Karnataka for those who love nature & water activities.

Adding to the excitement – the most famous destination in Karnataka. – Gokarna. There are famous Beaches like Om Beach and Kudle Beach. Interesting thing is, there are also a few more beaches that can only be reached by trek like Paradise Beach and Half Moon Beach. These Beaches are separated by hills covered with forest. One has to climb up the hill, trek through the woods, and reach the next beach. Sounds exciting, eh?
Taking a dip under the chilling fresh mountain water of Vibhooti waterfalls is so rejuvenating. There’s something magical about waterfalls that will refresh your senses and instantly make you happy. A visit to Yana caves in the thick rain forest is equally thrilling.
