Most people land on Dandeli looking for one simple answer: how much will this trip cost? The honest answer is that it depends on how long you stay and how much river you want. A quick weekend of splashing around costs very differently from three days that include a long rafting run and a full day in the forest.

Below you'll find our package prices as they stand today, resort stay categories, and the exact rate for every activity. If you're still deciding where to go and what to see, our guides to Dandeli river rafting and places to visit in Dandeli are a good place to start.

👥
Important: All package prices below are per person and apply to groups of a minimum of 4 members. They are not couple rates. Travelling as a couple or a smaller group? Call us and we'll work out the best option for you.

💡
Don't choose a resort only because it is cheap. A very low-priced property can mean higher occupancy, crowded pools and longer waiting times. For families or groups travelling with women and children, check reviews, cleanliness, location and crowd levels before booking — a slightly higher price often delivers a considerably better experience.

Rafting Rates: Short, Mid or Long?

Rafting on the Kali River comes in three lengths. The only real question is how much time you want on the water.

Short Rafting
Beginner
₹700
per person
A gentle 1.2 km run that takes 25–30 minutes. A perfect first taste of the river.
Mid Rafting
Balanced
₹1,350
per person
5.5 km over 1.5–2 hours. Enough time to settle into the rhythm and enjoy the rapids.
Long Rafting
Thrill
₹1,650
per person
9.5–10 km over 3–3.5 hours. The full Kali River experience for real rafting fans.
⚠️
Long Rafting slots are fixed at 9:00 AM, 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM. If you miss your assigned slot, the activity may be cancelled and payment may not be refunded. Plan your day around your rafting slot — not the other way around.
💡
Rafting depends on river flow, so slots can change with water levels. Read our Dandeli rafting guide for timings, safety and the best months to go.
