Dudhsagar Falls of Goa is a majestic waterfall where the white water gushing through the steep and vertical face of the mountain portrays a cascading effect. Standing as tall as 310 metres, it makes sure to stand in the list of tallest waterfalls in India.
In the past few years, the popularity of the Dudhsagar Falls has increased ten-fold as one of the most preferred weekend getaways from each of the cities of Bangalore, Mumbai, and Pune.
Monsoon period is by far the best season to plan your visit to the Dudhsagar Falls.
Dudhsagar Falls are accessible between 09:00 am to 06:00 pm. However, if you are travelling via train along the Madgaon-Belgaum railway route, you can have glimpses of the waterfalls as and when your train trespasses the region.
