Dudhsagar Waterfalls

About 60 kilometres off Margao, the commercial capital of Goa, rests one of the tallest and the most beautiful waterfalls in India known as the Dudhsagar Waterfalls. Providing breathtaking scenery, Dudhsagar Waterfalls is an excellent spot for picnics, hiking and sightseeing in Goa.

Like a striking bridal veil, the Dudhsagar Waterfalls plunges from a height of over 1000 feet, surrounded by a plush carpet of greenery as far as the eyes can see. Dudhsagar Waterfalls plummets in four levels. After a sheer drop, this massive waterfall diverges and cascades, weaving a mesmerizing image. Then once again, it concentrates the cascades into one and continues its journey.

Dudhsagar Waterfalls is one of the tallest waterfalls in India, originating in the watershed of Mandovi River, the lifeline of Goa. During the dry season the volume of Dudhsagar Waterfalls drops dramatically, while during the monsoon season it replenishes and regains its glory. Dudhsagar literally translates as an ocean of milk. Hence during the monsoons, spectators will see the spellbinding sight of a milky ocean falling from the heavens to the earth.

Dudhsagar Waterfalls is wrapped in lush greenery formed by the woods of the Western Ghats, a mountain range in west of India. Tourists and locals throng to the falls to enjoy picnics or simply relax and absorb the surrounding nature. Some prefers swimming at the foot of the falls while the more daring ones prefer hiking up to the head of the waterfall.
