Trekking at Dudhsagar Falls


Trekking at Dudhsagar Falls, Sonaulim


The name ‘Dudhsagar’ literally translates to ‘sea of milk’ which many believe is an allusion to the white spray and foam that the great waterfall creates as it cascades into the waters of the lake. This waterfall is located in the Sanguem Taluka of Goa.


There are several routes that you can take, while trekking up to Dudhsagar falls. However, the most recommended route is the one that originates in the Devil’s Canyon as it provides you stunning vistas of the region. Another route that you can take is the path that runs parallel to the South Western railway line. In this route, the trek starts at Collem railway station and will take you through rugged terrains and dense forests. You can complete the trek in 3-4 hours. A word of caution; avoid monsoons as the terrain might get wet and slippery, causing injuries. On a general note, October-November is considered as the best time to do a trekking trip here.
