Dudsagar
water falls are a great place to go and cool down in the fresh mountain waters.
After spending some time in the heat of the Goan summer, it's great to have
a dip in the cool waters that cascade down the cliffs. The water collects
in a large pool at the base of this impressive waterfall. Probably the best
time to go would be between October and Christmas when the falls are at their
most active due to the heavy rain in the monsoon. If you prefer a more sedate
pace, then coming later on in the year is just as satisfying, when you can
dive into the cool water and relax with a satisfying constant flow of water
into the largest of the pools. When you arrive at the gates to this national
park, the journey isn't over.
You
will see that the park is a plastic free zone, any plastic water bottles will
need to be left at the gate, there is also a charge for taking photographic
equipment into the park. 50 Rs\- for a still cameras, and 250 Rs\- for a video
camera which is payable at the gate.
The jeep takes you 12km through the jungle of the western ghats, driving through rivers and over rocks adds to the enjoyment of this trip. After the journey through the jungle you arrive around 350 meters from the base of the falls. The last part has to be completed on foot, so sensible footware is a must. Along the way you might get a glimpse of some of the monkeys that live around the pool, taking a banana or too will guarantee a great photo of these mischevous animals.
Once
there you are free to dangle your feet in the cool waters, or even swim in
the large pools. The waters are so inviting after the long trip through the
jungle.
