GOA FALLS

# Dudhsagar Waterfalls

The majestic cascade of white water, gushing over the steep, nearly vertical face of the mountain from a spectacular height of 1017ft; is both breath taking and awe inspiring. Translating literally to ‘sea of milk’ the waterfall is located in the Sanguem, and falls into the jurisdiction of the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary. One can go by road or rail to Kulem railway station and then trek to the waterfall or hire a jeep with a driver to get closer in; however, there will still be a walk to reach the base of the falls. There is also a rather bumpy track that is suitable only for four-wheel drive vehicles, but this track still requires visitors to trek about 1km to reach the base of the falls.

# Aravalem Falls

As the monsoons cover the landscape in green, nature springs into action to the sound of the gushing waterfalls. It is an ideal time to visit the lesser known Arvalem waterfalls in Sanquelim. Located at a 10-minute drive from the Aravalem caves, the 50 metre drop offers a breath-taking sight. The waters gush down into a sizable lake whose banks offer the perfect picnic spot. You can also visit Rudreshwar temple & caves around.

# Kesarval Falls

The beautiful Kesarval falls have a lot more going for them than the magnificence and awe of just another waterfall. These falls, sometimes also known as Kesarval Springs are renowned for their medicinal properties. The waters are purported to heal ailments of the body and to have rejuvenating properties. The minerals in the water come from the hard rock face that it pounds through. The springs are accounted to be a great natural spa.
