Dudhsagar Falls (literally meaning The Sea of Milk in Marathi and Konkani) is one of the world's most exquisite falls. Located on the Mandovi River in the Indian state of Goa, on Goa’s border with the state of Karnataka, it is 60 km from Panaji. It is located inside Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary. Dudhsagar Falls is listed as India’s 5th tallest waterfall and is 227th in the world at 310 m.
Day 1:
We arrived at Pune by train at around 11:40 AM and after a quick lunch we set off to explore the streets nearby till 3:30 PM. We had a small round of introduction and after that we boarded the Pune- Goa train by 16:20 PM
Day2:
At around 3 AM we reached Dudhsagar station. There is no halt for the train in this station, but railways take a one minute halt before getting go ahead to cross the bridge right below DudhSagar Falls and all of us managed to get down within a minute . We waited there for some more time because it was too early to see anything.

While crossing the board, I saw the majestic view of the mighty Mandovi river cascading down the hills in layers after layers. That was the first sight of the fall and it was very thrilling.

Soon, we reached in front of the Falls. Words are not enough to express the feeling while standing in front of Dudhsagar Waterfalls. Thousands of gallons of water falling from 310 meters (1017 feet) proving true to its name Dudhsagar , ”Sea of Milk”. It was really mesmerizing.
We captured many photos and decided to go further to view the entire waterfall. To reach to the waterfall viewpoint, you need to walk 2km from Dudhsagar Waterfall Bridge towards Kulem. On the way to this view point we came across two back to back tunnels. After a 2 km walk, we reach the waterfall viewpoint. Dudhsagar waterfall view from this point is simply amazing .
We bid goodbye to the glorious fall and started trekking towards KULEM station. The 12 kms trek through the jungle and the railway track was thrilling. Enroute there was a stream to cross .
Soon we reached Kulem station by about 3 pm and had lunch. At 4.30 pm, we boarded the train. The train passes through Dudhsagar falls. Your camera should be ready to take the photo of this beautiful waterfalls.
