Set against the mighty Western Ghats, within the central patch of Deccan Plateau, the untamed beauty of Dandeli never once fails to amaze. The landscape is picture-perfect with its undulating hillocks, evergreen forests, the pristine Kali river and indigenous plantations. Spread across 2,132 square kilometers, at an elevation of 475m above sea level, Dandeli seems to be stuck in a time capsule, untarnished by the fast pace of cities and retaining its pristine beauty.
