The reception area of Kali camp is set inside the main bungalow. This bungalow houses ten spacious rooms with attached baths, the indoor dining area (which doubles as a conference hall for groups) and the manager’s office. There is an area exclusively for indoor games too. Facing the River Kali are eleven twin-bedded, Swiss tents, which offer luxury and a close-to-nature experience. Each tent has its own hammock to laze around and a small camp fire area. The camp also houses a 12 bedded family room and an ethnic mud-cottage.
Facility:
At the far end of the tents is our Ghol Ghar – a round, open-to-sides gazebo – which is exclusively for guests to dine. JLR strongly believes that communal dining encourages sharing of experiences among guests.
The Indoor games parlour has a table tennis area and a carom board too. Guests interested in watching TV can make use of the lounge at the main bungalow.
Jungle Lodges and Resorts’ Kali Camp is very popular for its adventure sports, especially white-water rafting. Our expert river guide – John Pollard, who has been with us for over five years, supervises the rafting operations at Kali. All our rafts are imported, self-bailable and adhere to strict safety standards. Our river guides are highly experienced and will go conduct a session on river safety and commands for our guests before taking them on a run. All guests would be provided with safety gear like life jackets, helmets and oar.
Kali also offers other adventure activities like canyoning, canoeing, kayakings, mountain biking. Jungle Lodges is geared with all necessary equipment for the activities. We even have exclusive jeeps and trailers o transport these equipment and rafts from place to place.
Activity:
Tribes of Dandeli Dandeli is one of the few places in Karnataka where you can find diverse tribal communities living in close proximity to each other, in the same forest area. One such is the interesting Siddi tribe. Over 400 years ago, this entirely Negroid race formed the slave trade between the Portugese and the Indian Princely states. The Portugese are gone, but descendants of these Negroid slaves ran away and escaped into the jungle and have managed to survive till today.
The Gowlis are yet another face of tribal Karnataka. Originally Marathi speaking nomadic grazers, they have now settled in the interiors of the Dandeli forests. Cattle are their sole wealth and they depend entirely on the jungle for their needs. You can also come across the colourful Lambani tribal women in Dandeli. Their origin is Rajasthan. They are like Gypsies, living their lives, as if there is no 'tomorrow'. Dance to a folksong with them, unravel their long forgotten culture, and tune in to a bygone era.
