    I have always wanted to go to Dudhsagar waterfalls. Its been on my list for a very long time but due to some circumstances I couldnt travel. Finally, I get a chance and plan with my friends from Bangalore. It was second week of July. When we reached there, we couldnt go on the trek because one of our friend has not reached and also forest department closed the gate from 9 am onwards and we stay back in the village. Second day we decided to start our from Castle Rock and we took the late night train and reached the station. We had to wait for sometime to start our trek.Finally, around 4 am we started our trek and were excited. There is no trail or route, one has to walk only on the railway tracks and have to get down as soon as train arrives to pass. If it gets slowed, one can hop on it too but dont take the risk. We enjoyed the trek thoroughly and the route is absolutely stunning and scenic. We got drenched in the rain, it was raining heavily as well. But another fate was waiting for us ahead. As soon as we were about the fall, the forest department blocked the route and asked everyone to return because of some incident taht must have happened a day before. We respected the decision and took a return. But what I really hate about the trekkers is, they started destroying and damaging the local properties. They started scaring people by running and few people fell and got hurt as well. The trekkers started damaging rail properties by throwing stones and break the rail boards which is highly unacceptable. The department is doing their duty for our sake. We should not be rude and harsh by damaging the property. OH MY GOD, are you crazy? Why do people do such crazy stuff? there are two routes for Dudhsagar waterfalls- one from Castle Rock- 14 kms one way and the other is Kulem 11 kms one side. Both the stations are quite accessible by the train. Things to keep - raincoat, some food, water, No washroom available, restaurant or water. wear good pair of shoes and also carry an extra pair of clothes to change. No tickets required.

    Must see let down by chaotic queuing
    The waterfall is great .. a must see but my review score reflects the chaos in obtaining tickets, queuing, scammers everywhere. You DO need to pre purchase tickets but actually for double the price you can save the chaos of queuing and just speak to a local selling merch who cam get you on a jeep quicker. The jeep ride is an experience in itself, once at the waterfall it is absolutely packed but still the queuing etc

    This is fantastic
    Perhaps of the best cascade I have at any point seen. During rainstorm the main lawful approach to seeing the cascades is from the passing via trains. You will just get a 10 seconds perspective on the falls however it is stunning and commendable. Trains ignore by leisurely here.

    A lovely waterfall
    Dudsagar falls is a beautiful place. However it is hard work just to get there in terms of driving in the jeep for 40 minutes, it was a bumpy and dusty journey but it wasn’t too bad. Then trekking for about 40minutes. Not great if you are elderly, have difficulty walking.

    Reward is jumping in the cool pool.
    Well worth a visit. You get to the town and then get a jeep. A 30 minute Jeep ride over tough terrain will get you half way up the hill. Then it’s a 20 mins walk which is dangerous over rocks. You will be given life jackets so can jump straight into the pool and under the waterfall. Beware of the monkeys they will go through your bags looking for food whilst you are swimming. They are a big nuisance there. A train will go over the bridge above the falls which is a lovely sight.

You cannot get to the falls in your own vehicle. There are cars which will take you there and for tickets for the cars you will need to stand in a long queue. Please carry cash with you because in our case, they did not accept credit cards or paytm. The queue was long. It took us one and a half hour. I ran hither thither in search of an atm and none of the atms worked. The people at the ticket counter are rude to the core. We had to wait for some friends of ours, but they did not even explain to us what and why we can’t wait. They just yelled at us and said, every car waits for just 5 minutes after you get the tickets and then you need to board the car immediately. The heat, the queue, the rude ticket counter folks were enough to make my mood off. Most of the cars were cars by mahendra. The last car to go the falls was at around 4 pm. So if you have to visit the place, try to reach as early as possible. We reached the place at around 12:30 pm and hence things were troublesome. After a long, tiresome wait, we finally git a car. One car carries 7 people.The ride to the falls was merry. The cars drive through rough terrain and tiny streams. Then they drop you and you need to walk on a stony path with tiny streams and bridges to reach the falls. From the parking, it is around 20 minutes walk to the falls. Ensure you wear proper footwear which are not slippery and can be drenched in water. The cars wait for you while you can spend around 1 hour approx in the falls or maybe 45 mins. I forgot the exact time. Then they bring you back. The waterfalls is certainly beautiful. You can get drenched and play in the water, however, be careful. The path is full of stones and if you are not comfortable walking in such stony slippery paths then this is not the place for you. However, for adventure lovers, this place is a must visit.

Road to Dudhsagar falls is one hell of a ride in a bolero car. They charge 3500 per jeep, suitable for 7 people. Incase you are traveling alone or with few members you can share your jeep with others. Also, you need to pay 40rs for life jacket and 100rs entry fee per person for the trip. It's a 40mins travel to Dudhsagar falls. From the parking lot it's another 10-15mins walk. Not suitable for older people. I decided to swim, I'm quite satisfied with my decision. No restaurant near the falls so carry food if needed.

Well worth the time!

This took us around 1.5 hours by taxi to get to from Benaulim, and the around 45 minutes in a 4x4 to get to the waterfall (then the same back obviously).

We found it well worth the time! The walk up through the jungle is beautiful and gives views of the waterfall and surrounding area along with the wildlife. Lots if monkeys to be seen!

Tou can hire your own driver and 4x4 for 3500 rupees or tou can opt to wait for other people. We waited for others and it took less than 5 minutes and cost us 550 rupees each. There is then a 50 rupee pp cost to get in the forest and 40 rupees pp for life jacket hire (mandatory). So all in about 650 covers you.

You will need ID or your taxis ID nber in order to go!

The water is freezing but once your in it's a great way to enjoy the waterfall!

We hired a self-drive car to get here and then paid 100 Rupees to park securely. It is best to arrive when we did which is pre 10 am so that you get tickets and entry quick as lines can get busy and long waiting times for Jeeps. Overall it's an amazing place like the drive to the spot itself is a 20-minute jeep safari through mud and water. You can make a day out of it. Lots of time to take photos and enjoy the waterfalls.

However...

You would have thought that generating such income from tourists they would invest in better road structure. For example, if you had poor back posture or bone structure 9/10 you would get hurt in the Jeep trail as there is just bump after bump after bump. In addition to adding to the fact that the public toilets on the walk to the falls are disgusting beyond basic cleanliness. Everyone is given a life jacket to wear yet nobody follows the rules and simply swim without jackets and take photos in unsafe locations, we even witnessed a child wanting a photo and get swept away in the water because they did not abide by the rules. If you are a woman beware that if you're in a swimming costume the men will obviously stare but it gets to a point where it's uncomfortable and creepy.

Overall a good day out but there are many issues with this overcrowded tourist spot with zero regulations enforced.

Visited in Oct 2021 on a wednesday.
Reached the ticketing office by around 10:30am and had to wait about 30mins to get a jeep assigned at the cost of 700 perperson.
Once jeep is assigned, everyone need to mandatorily carry a life jacket at 40 per person.
Once we get started on the journey, within few mins, we will reach the forest entry where we need to pay 100 per person again.
Journet is about 40 mins each way through the forest on roads that are rocky and bumpy. We will cross many streams on the way while inside the jeep.
Due to lots of jeeps on the road, no parking was available and hence the driver dropped us off about 10mins away from the parking area.
Once we get off the jeep, it once again took 30 mins each way to get to the actual waterfall itself.
On the way to the waterfall, we need to cross multiple streams coming from the waterfall itself and some are deep and difficult for kids and elders to cross as its all rocky terrain.
Not advisable for elderly folks. For kids, its manageable.
Numerous folks lost their footwear while crossing the streams on foot, so carry your footwear in ur bag or covers separately while crossing the streams.
Once we reach the waterfall, we will have a good view of the falls including the railway bridge. There is a pool of water at the bottom of the falls where people are swimming with their life jackets.
overall it was a fun and adventurous trip. Plan atleast 6 hours for the whole trip from Panjim to Dudhsagar and back.
And best if you reach early to avoid the crowds and traffic jams on the road to the falls.

Dudhsagar falls is a full day affair from Goa.

First thing to note is that tickets are sold over the counter and its a queue process.

Ticket counter is run by women so women empowerment was food to see.

Reached early by 8:00 and queued up . counter opens and we were allocated tickets. We took a full safari jeep.

Jeep & jeep driver were allocated at ticket counter and jeep driver took us to jeep.

We were then asked to rent out life jackets from adjoining counter, smooth process no issues.

Jeep then took us to safari which essentially is a rough and bumpy ride through the wild.

We approached entry gate of Reserve area and jeeps queued up for entry permit.

We got down and clicked some pictures and flexed our muscles.

After about 1 hour + driving .. Upon reaching parking lot of Dudhsagar falls, Jeep parked and we were on foot. A good 20 minutes trek to falls.

The trek is honestly a health & safety hazard. I mean on the rocks near falls it is so slippery and risky that God only knows how people make it through.

Anyways - good experience seeing the fall, would not say best/smooth experience and yet one thing ticked off the list during visit to Goa.

We traveled to jeep park via a taxi, arrived 7.30 as wanted to avoid the crowds so pleased we did by the time we left 10.30 it was heaving!! Downside of going as a couple you have to wait until a further5 people arrive as minimum for each jeep is 7, unless you are happy to pay 3500rupees. Most importantly you now have to BOOK ON LINE your reservation for day of visit 25 rupees pp. email address is dudhsagarjeeps.com. Please be aware phone signal isn’t great so worth doing it before you leave home.
We visited 22years ago and its still as beautiful although health and safety plays a bigger part nowadays life-vests must be worn and provided for a small fee. People were wearing flip flops which must have been a challenge climbing over uneven boulders I would suggest waterproof trainers/shoes.

Avoid Misleading information on websites.
The trek is a 12km "trek"(one side)
The local guides charge extravagant prices, its not even legal (as per norms of Indian Railways) and there is no provision of drinking water.

The jeeps are a good way of traveling. And safe too.

Once you reach the water falls, the local guides have the monopoly over life saving jackets and don't allow you to enter the water

There are rarely any forest officers or incharge you can reach out to.

If you are still the adventurous kind who is willing to go through 24 km of craziness, then please carry food and water (for your safety) and wear shoes because 24 km in 10hours will suck out the joy of waterfalls

This place is over-rated and overcrowded - 150 jeeps of 6 people at a time. 20 minutes jeep ride, 60 minutes only at the falls, and 15 minute walk to get to the pool area. Must be great out of season
