A mesmerizing sight opens before tourists who decided to get to the not very high, but incredibly beautiful waterfall Dudhsagar, decorating the territory of the famous reserve in India — Bhagwan Mahavir. The water cascade has rather unusual outlines, which is due to the multi-level streams raised by the force of nature to a height of 310 meters, but having a length of about 2 times greater — 603 meters.
During the rainy season, the waterfall fully justifies the name given to it, which translates as «sea of milk» or «milk ocean». The reason for this definition is that in the rainy season, Dudhsagar resembles a grandiose mass of milk, which flows in a foamy and lacy stream into a cool lake.

Tour guides are fond of recounting a local legend that claims there was once a palace in this part of the Indian state of Goa. The beautiful princess who lived in it often visited the nearby lake, enjoyed bathing in its crystal clear water, and then gladly drank milk presented to her in a special jug made of gold. On one of the days of bathing, the princess noticed that a man was looking at her from the shore. The girl had no choice but to tip the jug of milk into the waters of the lake and hide her nakedness from the curious gaze.

Anyone who chooses to vacation on the coast of India or hot tours to GOA cannot miss out on experiencing this extraordinary natural wonder. While viewing the multiple streams, the eye will tirelessly follow the delicate veil, which white mist envelops every bend and refraction of the direction of water jets.
The traveler will definitely be interested in the railway bridge with passing trains. The engineering structure was built at a time when India was occupied by Britain.
One of the memorable events will be riding on elephants, and the interest is not only the walk itself, but also the chance to get under the shower, which can be organized by the elephant.
The journey to the falls involves first getting to the borders of the protected area by bus, train or cab. After that, either on foot or in an off-road vehicle, you will need to wade through the thicket to the delightful and uniquely beautiful waterfall.
The best time to visit is considered to be the winter period, which starts in June and continues till September. Just at this time there are no monsoon rains, the weather is fine and the temperature is comfortable. None of the arriving tourists will not regret the time that will have to spend on the road. Everything will be compensated by the exotic mix of water, altitude and stunning scenic beauty!
