So, grab your backpacks, put on your hiking boots, and get ready to embark on an adventure like no other!
Dudhsagar Waterfalls
Dudhsagar Waterfalls is undoubtedly one of the most popular and breathtaking waterfalls in Goa. Located in the Sanguem district of the state, the waterfall is easily accessible by road and rail. One can take a train from Madgaon or Kulem station to Dudhsagar station, which is just a short trek away from the waterfall. Alternatively, one can also reach Dudhsagar by road, which is about 60 kilometres from the capital city of Panaji.
Standing tall at a height of 310 meters and stretching up to 30 meters in width, Dudhsagar Waterfalls is a sight to behold. As the milky-white water cascades down the rocky terrain, it creates a misty spray that gives the waterfall its name, which translates to "Sea of Milk" in English.
The surrounding area of Dudhsagar is a haven for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. The waterfall is nestled in the heart of the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to a variety of flora and fauna. The lush green forests surrounding the waterfall are teeming with wildlife, including monkeys, leopards, and different species of birds.
If you're planning to hike to Dudhsagar Waterfalls, it's essential to wear sturdy hiking shoes and carry plenty of water and snacks. The trek to the waterfall is around 14 kilometres and can take up to 5 hours to complete, depending on your pace. Swimming in the waterfall is not recommended during the monsoon season when the water flow is strong, but it's safe to take a dip during the other months of the year.
