"Waterfalls always teaches me one thing that there is a beauty in Falling Down"
Dudh sagar is one of India's tallest waterfalls falling down from a height of 1020 feet ( ~ 311 mtrs ) ,100 ft in width is a cascaded waterfall ,located in the Bhagavan mahavir wildlife sanctuary ( comes under western ghats ) on the Mandovi river in Goa.
Story Behind Dudhsagar :
A princess Used to take bath on the banks of River Mandovi everyday along with her maids .oneday a young king who came for hunting around the river stopped and looked at the princess suddenly by the laughter's and chatters of ladies. The princess felt shy and with in the moment the maids had poured the milk infront of her in cascaded manner creating curtain thus saving her from embarrassment.and from then locals say waterfalls is there creating milk curtain thus called as Sea of milk.
Best time to visit :
You can visit any time in the year but Monsoon (July - oct ) is the best time to visit for breathtaking and mesmerizing views .The water fall will be at Zenith during Monsoon.
We started from Hyderbad to Belagam (belgavi ) and then to kulem.we started our trek from Kulem Railway station which is 11km on the train track to reach the waterfalls. This train track offered breath taking views of the Nature,greeted by chirping of the birds and Goods trains and Rain,tunnels,streams.
Nature has the power to wash away all our stress as how the River ganga wash away all our sins when we get dipped in to it.
We walked,we ran,we lauhed,we sang,we played,we said hi to all the Goods trains,we got drenched in Rain and when we are about to Reach the water falls there are tunnels which are like pathway to heaven which made me think that Always choose the path Less travelled to see the Hidden Beauty which no one sees.
And finally after Reaching the water fall,I was spellbound by its Beauty.I felt Ecstatic.It was like Picaso's painting hanged on the wall of sky.The Strong sounds of the currents and gushing water from the falls has removed all the traffic in my mind.The light droplets of shower from the waterfalls touching my face has made the Bigbang of my Thoughts to singularity.for a couple of seconds it looked like as if "Ksheera sagara mathana" happend here.
And the time has come to give the sendoff which I don't want to leave.As it is around 7pm in the Night and we had to Return then the great adventure of My life happend.As it is train track,we boarded in to a Goods Train with the help of Local organiser and standing behind the Engine by Managing the locopilots of train.Though it is illegal ,but it is the best experience of my life.
And in the return journey on the train ,we witnessed the waterfall for one last time again.For a surprise in the return Journey we were greeted by fireflies all around the track.
And then we got down near to kulem and continued our trek for kulem.
