Dudhsagar Falls
Located close to Palolem Beach on Goa-Karnataka border are India’s fifth highest falls in the world. Perched atop lofty heights of Western Ghats, Dudhsagar falls are situated amidst beautiful lush-green surroundings.
Dudhsagar means ‘Ocean of Milk’ and the falls derive name from the mist of milky foam that rises up, from the bottom of gushing falls.
From a distance, falls appear like milky streams and gradually cascade into a gushing waterfall. Dudhsagar falls are one of Goa’s most attractive and visited picnic spots. Despite being perilous due to slippery rocks, it is a popular spot for trekking, camping and hiking.
