Dudhsagar Falls is one of the gorgeous flowy waterfalls where you can hear the roar of the water, gushing through the slope of the mountains. This fall is one of the tallest waterfall in India which is 310 Mts long. As the water gushes from the high altitude, one can witness a beautiful view which would always be registered.
This huge gush, gives the viewers the illusion of a subtle milky white colour water falling from the great height. That is why the falls is named as Dudhsagar Falls. Mandori the main river of Goa originates from the Deccan Plateau winds, finds its way through the narrow streams and turns of the western ghats.
As the river streams its way along the border of karnataka and goa, it then transforms and moulds itself to Dudhsagar waterfalls.
The waterfalls gives us a beautiful sight, as there are green trees surrounded all over with a bridge across. The shadow and the reflections of the trees make water body look green. The falls is located in the womb of Bhagwan Mahavir Woldlife sanctuary. This dense forest, with many species of wild animals, birds, plants and trees makes the waterfalls even more pleasant.
In the past few years, these falls became even more popular and came into existence as many people are preferring as a weekend getaway from different cities like Hyderabad, Banglore, Mumbai, pune etc.
The season starting from June is the best period as the falls look more gorgeous in the monsoon. The water levels will rise above the usual level, thus gives a splendid effect as the water flows with a huge gush.
Dandeli, around 125 km from Goa, home to the majestic Kali River, is a popular rafting destination in Karnataka.
