About Anshi (Dandeli)

Anshi National Park, part of the Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve, is famed for reliable sightings of the black panther — a melanistic form of the Indian leopard — making it unique among Indian parks. The park's dense Western Ghats rainforest is one of the most species-rich in the country. River rafting on the Kali combines adventure with one of India's finest wildlife experiences.
