The etymology can be traced to the words Dandakaranya where it is believed that Lord Ram ,Laxman and Sita spent some time. The quaint town rose to prominence owing to the timber trade that flourished along the banks of the Kali river. Several timber depots mushroomed and provided some of the best teak for buildings and industries across India.

Being easily accessible from major places in the vicinity like Goa, Hubli, Belgaum, Kolhapur, etc., Dandeli has become the first choice for travelers from all over India who want some quietude, with the grace of the nature and lots of adventure sports around the river.
