There are scarce paved roads leading to Dudhsagar Falls, and those are navigable only for a few months of the year, being submerged the rest of the time. No easy paths to stroll down or wayside inns to stop at along the way. It is reached by 4x4 vehicle or by the rugged and sturdy feet of determined men and women, the latter being the recommended method as it evokes in visitors a sense of real achievement when the journey comes to its magnificent conclusion. Typical statistics for this fall are that it is the 5th tallest in India, 227th tallest in the World and that its water cascades down 310 meters of a 4 tiered fall. Unfortunately these statistics could never describe the beauty one would see upon first laying eyes on this natural wonder, and thus do not do justice to the reality of Dudhsagar Falls. Located well inside the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary bordering Goa and Karnataka along the Western Ghats mountain range, Dudhsagar Falls is legendary for the way it turns the clear water of the Mandovi River into a milk-white sheet as it crashes down on each of the 4 tiers of the falls. The legend goes that a beautiful princess was seen bathing in the falls by a prince and, acutely aware of her nakedness, she poured a jug of sweetened milk she had, over her body to cover herself from the prince's gaze. From that jug, the milk flowed, over the princesses' body, and down the falls, transforming it into what it is today. It is for this legend that the falls is named "Dudhsagar" or Sea of Milk as it translates in English. Travellers looking to visit the falls will also have the opportunity to experience a unique and wonderful trekking experience with 4 routes of increasing difficulty to choose from to reach the falls These are suitable for everyone, from the excited and nervous novice, to the experienced and serious outdoorsmen. The wildlife sanctuary in which the falls is located boasts a variety of endemic and migratory birds, not to mention the expansive flora and fauna that calls the sanctuary home. After a day of adventure and discovery trekking to this beautiful falls, there is no better place to go home to than the The Zuri White Sands Goa Resort, the only 5-star Goa resort around. The Zuri White Sands is really a Goa beach resort where guests can wash away the stress and excitement of the day and pamper themselves with the un-matched services and amenities provided there.
