Dudhsagar Falls (literally meaning The Sea of Milk) is a tiered waterfall
located on the Mandovi River in the state of Goa, India, on Goa's border with
the state of Karnataka. It is 60 km from Panaji.
The Dudhsagar Waterfalls lie high up in the Mandovi River's watershed and
so are not particularly spectacular during the dry season. During the monsoon
season however, the falls are transformed into one of the most powerful falls
in India.
Dudhsagar Falls is listed as India's 5th tallest waterfall and is 227th
in the world at 310 m.
The lower half of the Dudhsagar Waterfalls water plummets hundreds
of feet in large volumes during the monsoon season, forming one of the most spectacular
natural phenomena in Goa. It is a major part of the Goa ecosystem. This is a
four tiered waterfall with a total height of 310 meters about 1017 feet, with
an average width of 30 meters about 100 feet.
Transport to the Dudhsagar Waterfalls is by train
and rough road. It is 10 kilometers from Kulem Railway Station - Indian Railway
station code QLM.
