As usual, you have your facts jumbled up. I am in fact a publicly declared test rider for a secret company.

Myself and utsav had been to this place last year .Good place for a 2 day ride . But I feel certainly the rates of accomodation given there does not exactly match with what we were told . You can look for accomodation at kamath guest house in dandeli town and then travel across as you need. Some places you can visit certainly . . Syntheri Rocks, Kali Wildlife Sanctuary also I would suggest you to wander inside the forest roads, awesome twisties plus super duper enviroinment. But be safe !
Some tips,
1. Carry enough cash , only one or two ATMs in town and cant trust both of them .
2. Fuel whenever you get a chance ! No fuel outlets in between dandeli and khanapur stretch from belgaum to dandeli road.
3. Do have your dinner at shetty lunch home . . Cheap & Best food and drinks at nominal rates !

Enjay,
Pai

P.S Not able to see the map . Commenting based on the fact that you are hitting dandeli !

Are you heading to Anshi or staying at Dandeli itself? We had been to Anshi last year. No electricity, carry a flashlight. No mobile towers, save battery by switching off your cellphone if it is not BSNL. There is a Anshi Forest Reserve resort, food is good and priced at 1/3rd of Pune prices, tents are an awesome place to stay. Jungle safari / Treks are arranged on request. The stay is adventurous even if you do absolutely nothing.

Hi Sid,

I'm in. But as I said earlier, I'll only confirm few days before. Count me tentatively. But why we need to leave on 19th why not on 20th? Also I have 3 person tent so we can use that if there are any camping sites. But I suggest we stay there or nearby for 2 nights.

Hi Antz,
Are there any camping sites? If yes how far they are from parking. I've 3 person tent & I'm planning to use that.

Carnivorous Wild Animals!! The place is famous for its Black Panthers. And Black panthers are famous for being invisible at night

We didn't stay there very long but the resort place was right in the middle of the jungle.

[abhijitkn]

^yeap got that. Was going through images on Google & I could see black panthers in the search....but still I'm planning to camp...
