Fresh breath in Dandeli post lockdown

We started the tour of fresh breath post the locdown.

As I was at my home in Satara since March after returning from the campus. It  was a must for us to take a fresh breath of air away from the house. A must needed vaccation amids all the pandemc stress. We started our journey towards Belgaum, Karnataka from my home at Satararoad, Satara, Maharashtra early in the morning around 5 AM in the morning. In the foggy morning it was a lot fun to drive to Belgaum via Kolhapur. We didnt halt for our breakfast as we were in a hurry to reach Belgaum, where we had my Massi and her daughters to join us in the further trip. We had booked Kali home stay for our stay at Dandeli. The journey start was tough but beautiful as the road visibilty remained very low. We had to reach the Kali stay at 1 PM. We reached Belgaum at around 10 AM. We waited at Mausis place for some time. Then to respect  my wish and meet my Aai's friends we went for the breakfast at Udaybhan, however it being closed had to satisfy my wish at Ajanta with the dosa instead of the Mysore bhajis. You must try the Udaybhans world famous Mysore Bhajis on your visit to Begaum. It became late around 12 Pm in Belgaum. The journey was not easy as we had decided. The road were under counstruction from Belgaum to Dandeli. The ups and downs of the road. It gave me the most missed experienced of driving offroads and that too on unknown roads it was the ultimate fun.

We reached Dandeli around 2.30 PM at kali home stay. We were late but the fun had just started. After reaching we checked in the Kali home resort, got freshened up and heard to the plan for remaning 22 hrs. At Kali we were alloted clean rooms with attached bathroom. The room consisted of master bed, tv, ac, water gyser and al the neessary stuffs. In short rooms were good enough. Here we can also play bow arrow, football, volleyball, and carrom. Which obviously played as the food was getting redy. We ate our lunch and started our journey for the first round of fun that was water sports. It was a bit far around 17 Km but the roads were well constructed and easy to find. We reached theriver Kali for water sports around 4.30 PM. We completed the complementary activities from the home stay first and then completed a few more activities like zipline and water rafting. It was fun. We completed around 6 activities in 1.30 hr as the activites get wind up by 6.00Pm.

After completing the activities we retuerend back and had tasty dinner and born-fire. It was fun. The tasty chicken and bornire in cold weather it rejuvnated. We slept a bit early as had to start the next day early.

The next day we went for the forest tour. But actually we missed it. 

The next day we went for the forest tour. But actually we missed it.  As wild life safari start very early and after the hectic day we needed rest. But never the less we went to explore te forests and  rivers of Dandeli and to be true it was fun. After the breakfast at stay we started our forest exploration. Suerly for the wild safari you need an extra day for sure. We explore through the forest. Best part was the bird watching and breathng the fresh air post the COVID. It was my first trip post the pandemic. Now sitting in the campus at IITG I can mesmerise remebering the trip. Then we returend bac to the stay and packed our bags way back. We checked out at 11 AM. Thats the checkout time. But for the next visit we will plan for a longer duration. One of the safest and fun trip you can have. There are more stays one can stay. On our retun to Belgaum where we had the stay and visiting mummys all college and school friends we planned our journey via. Kittur where we paid our tribut to Rani Chennama and visiting the hand made sarree shops. You can also plan your trip to Goa from Dandeli which is close by and with outstanding road via. Karwar. A longertrip of more days can be a rounnd trip Goa-Dandeli-Gokarna-Karwar-Goa.  The best trips are the one to the southern India. Full of forest and fun you cant miss this trip.
