About Dandeli River Ziplining
Dandeli offers a unique "River Crossing" style zipline where you are harnessed to a cable spanning the width of the mighty Kali River. As you slide across, you get a bird's-eye view of the swirling rapids below. Some operators even offer a "Splash Zip" where the line is tensioned to allow your feet to skim the water midway.
