Dudhsagar Falls - THE MILKY WAY
Dudhsagar
Falls aka Sea of Milk- a beautiful tie-red waterfall located on the Mandovi River in the Indian state of Goa on Goa's border with Karnataka state is the place I have been
wanting to embark in my travel list since a long time.
Dudhsagar derives its name from the clouds of foam
that form at the waterfalls.
According to the legend, a
powerful king who ruled the Western Ghats had his palace in the forest. The
king's daughter used to bath in the picturesque lake. She would have a jug full
of sugared milk after the bath.
Once while she was just having her milk after a bath, a handsome prince saw
her. Embarrassed, the princess poured milk in front of her so that it could
form a curtain while one of the maids rushed to get her the dress. Since then,
the sugared milk (Dudh) poured by the princess is believed to be flowing in
torrents as a tribute to the modesty of the princess.
All you need is a weekend to cover this lovely place if you stay in Bangalore. One fine day, all of a sudden, we booked train tickets from Bangalore to Londa Junction in Rani Chenamma Express for next day travel. Around 8 AM, we reached Londa Junction and indeed that small station surprised us with its beautiful and breath freshening view.
