About this stay
Dew Drops Resort Dandeli (also listed as Dew Drops Homestay / Jungle Resort) sits on Kogilban Road, about 20 km from Dandeli and surrounded by forest. Guests come for bird life on the river belt — hornbills, kingfishers, darters and egrets among hundreds of species — and a quiet pool-side base.
On the property you get kayaking, raft boating, a natural jacuzzi bath, archery, target shooting, trekking, cycling, swimming and campfire. The team can help with sightseeing toward Moulangi, Disney Park, Crocodile Park, Supa Dam, Magod / Syntheri / Sathodi Falls, Kavala and Ulavi Caves, Sykes Point and the tiger reserve safari.
The safari gate is roughly 10 km away (about Rs 400 per head at the forest counter). Because the stay is near the reserve belt, loud music is not allowed. Listed 2D/1N packages start around Tent Rs 1750, Commando tent Rs 2300 and Cottage Rs 2800 per person with meals — confirm the latest rate on WhatsApp.

- Share train or bus arrival time if you need a pickup toward Kogilban.
- Tell us meal preference, veg or non-veg, and any allergies on WhatsApp.
On arrival

- Ask which water activities are running that afternoon (kayak, raft boat, jacuzzi).
- Confirm any extra safari or rafting slot with us the same evening.
- Loud music is not allowed — the property sits near the tiger reserve belt.
Before checkout
- Checkout is 11:00 AM. Ask if you need a bag hold after a morning safari.
- Settle extras (safari, rafting, sightseeing cabs) at the desk, not only on WhatsApp.
- Allow time back toward Dandeli — the stay is about 20 km from town.

Cottage by the pool worked well for our family. Road in is a village stretch — share your cab ETA in advance.

Liked kayaking and the campfire. Loud music is banned near the reserve, which kept nights peaceful.
