Dudhsagar Falls, goa
The magnificent Dudhsagar Waterfall is
perched in the high peaks of the Western Ghats and is a sight to
behold especially in the monsoons when it is in full and furious
flow. From a distance, the waterfall appears like streams of milk
rushing down the mountainside. The exhuberent and spectacular
waterfall is located in the Sanguem taluka
Measuring a mighty 600m from head to
foot, this waterfall on the Goa-Karnataka border, attracts a steady
stream of visitors from the coast into the rugged Western Ghats.
After pouring across the Deccan plateau, the headwaters of the
Mandovi River form a foaming torrent that splits into three streams
to cascade down a near-vertical cliff face into a deep green pool
The Konkani name for the falls, which
literally translated means "sea of milk", derives from
clouds of milky foam which rises up at the bottom of the falls.
Dudhsagar is set amidst breathtaking scenery overlooking a steep,
crescent-shaped head of a valley carpeted with pristine tropical
forest, that is only accessible on foot or by train
