Syntheri Rock
Syntheri Rock is a 300ft tall monolithic granite
located deep inside the thick Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary. With the Kaneri River
gushing ferociously by its side, the Synteri Rock is a spectacular Sight. One
can actually see the effect of erosion that has resulted in hollows on this
rock. Thousands Of pigeons have made this rock their home in the innumerable
nooks and crannies, and one can also See the hives of rock bees hanging
precariously from the Kali Wilderness Camp. A jeep ride for about an hour
followed by a walk through the scenic jungle will bring you to this incredibly
beautiful sculpture of nature.
The Sintheri Rock is a
granite monolith of colossal dimensions - about 300 feet high and 400 feet
long.The huge rock, with its multi-coloured face, weathered over thousands of
years, standing tall amidst the greenery of the surrounding forests, by itself
presents a beautiful sight. Add to this a small and beautiful river cascading
past along the bottom of the monolith and what we have is a bewitching
combination of Natural beauty.The sight of it,especially immediately after end
of the monsoon season, is a spectacle to behold, and is sure to remain etched
in one's memory for a long time.
