from the capital city of Panaji and is well connected with Panjim and Margao

taxis which can be taken from Panaji city.
Perched on the lofty peaks
of the Western Ghats, the Dudh Sagar waterfalls offer unrivalled beauty, and
amazing scenery full of exquisite charms when in full flux after the monsoon showers. Like an idyllic Eden cradled
luxuriously in the mountains, the Dudh Sagar waterfalls, which from a distance
appear like milky streams, gradually climax into a gushing cascade as they come
into full view of the onlookers.
Dudhsagar literally means
ocean of milk. This is one of Goa’s most attractive and ideal picnic spots
mainly offering charismatic natural beauty and amazing scenery when in full
flow after the monsoons. The waterfall initially appears like streams of milk
flowing down the mountain which later culminate into gushing cascades after
they come in full view of the awestruck visitors. It is perched on the lofty
heights of the Western Ghats and falls from a height of 603 meters. The
celestial intervention in the origin of these waterfalls adds a mystic
significance to Dudhsagar, almost like a dream come true. Even words are too
less to describe this stupendous charisma of mythical fascination which is
almost similar to a second Eden cradled luxuriously in the mountains.
There is a myth associated
with Dudh sager waterfalls. Years ago there lived a powerful and rich king on
the top of a mountain in the Western Ghats along the Goan frontier. He lived in
a lavish palace made of pure ivory and embedded by precious stones. Near this
palace, there were luxuriant gardens abounding in a vast variety of flowers.
At one end of the forest,
which fringed the king's palace, there was a picturesque lake. In the panoramic
setting of this lake, the king's daughter, accompanied by her ladies-in-waiting,
went to bathe and to sip sugared milk which one of her maids served to her in a
pure gold jug.
One day, while she was
sipping at the milk, a prince, who was passing by, stopped on hearing the sound
of people nearby. Immediately, the princess poured the milk in the pond to
shield her body from the glances of the stranger. It is believed that the
sugared milk that was poured by the virtuous and modest princess still comes
flowing down in torrents along that side of the mountain.
Dudh Sagar waterfalls with
their strange, mystical fascination are a dream come true. The uneclipsed
vision, furnished by this native waterfall as it plunges over crag-covered
precipes and stupendous steeps, belies description.
