Live River Status · Ganeshgudi
Reading the latest Supa dam data.
This status is generated automatically from public dam data. Please call or WhatsApp to confirm before you travel.
Rafting at Ganeshgudi depends on water released from the Supa dam upstream. The dam releases water to generate hydro-electric power, so its power output tells us whether the Kali River has rafting flow.
Every 5 minutes we read the Supa power station's output from the Karnataka State Load Despatch Centre's public page (KPTCL SLDC). Above 0 MW, water is flowing and rafting is active. At 0 MW, the river is calm and rafting is suspended until the next release.
Releases are decided day by day, so the status can change during the day. Read more about the river in our Dandeli river guide.
October – February
Peak season
Healthy river flow and pleasant weather. All three rafting routes generally run when the dam releases water.
March – May
Runs, hot days
Rafting, kayaking and boating stay popular. Go in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.
June – September
Monsoon break
Rafting usually takes a break during the monsoon, when heavy rain makes the river unsafe.
We're open daily, 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM. Month-by-month details are in our best time to visit Dandeli guide.
These activities don't depend on the river, so your trip still works on a calm-river day:

Check the live status at the top of this page. It turns green when the Supa dam is releasing water into the Kali River, which is what makes rafting at Ganeshgudi possible. Because conditions can change during the day, call or WhatsApp us to confirm before you travel.
Rafting depends on the next day's water release from the Supa dam, which is decided day by day, so nobody can confirm tomorrow with certainty today. Check this page on the morning of your trip, or message us on WhatsApp and we'll tell you as soon as we know.
The Supa dam generates hydro-electric power by releasing water into the Kali River. We read its power output from the Karnataka State Load Despatch Centre (KPTCL SLDC) public page every 5 minutes. When the power station is generating, water is flowing downstream and rafting is active; at 0 MW the river is calm and rafting is suspended.
Rafting usually takes a break from about June to September, when heavy rain makes the river unsafe. The season generally runs from October to May, subject to daily dam releases.
Land activities don't depend on the river, so they carry on: ziplines, canopy walk, sky cycling, giant swing, trekking, jungle safari. Call or WhatsApp us on +91 99020 14064 and we'll suggest what's running that day.
Rafting on the Kali River happens at Ganeshgudi, about 20km from Dandeli town, not in the town itself.
