The Unique Experience at Dudhsagar waterfalls
Goa the name brings many images-images of pristine beaches, snaking rivers, winding roads fringed with coconut trees, and yes…the mightiest of the mighty ‘Dudhsagar waterfalls! We bet you haven't seen a waterfall as gorgeous as this one which deciphers into ‘sea of milk’. Water that gushes down from the top of the falls resembles milk literally. It gushes four tiers down to form a pool where bathers take skinny dips and have the time of their lives.
Legend
Legend has it that a princess was once bathing in a lake near Mandovi, and one day, while she was naked and bathing, a prince, passing by saw her. To save her modesty, she used a jug of milk to pour it out like a curtain in front of her. The gushing milk became a namesake of this waterfall since then.
