Dudhsagar waterfalls which originates in Karnataka is the highest water fall found in the State of Goa and is within the extremities of the Wildlife Sanctuary. Water cascades from a height of 200 mtr. and splashes into a wide gorge making it milky all along and thus has earned its reputation as “Dudhsagar”. This spot has become a favourite tourist destination both for domestic as well as foreign tourists. The falls are easily accessible both from Mollem and Collem by road which passes through some pristine forest area. The Konkani name for the falls, which literally translated means "sea of milk", derives from clouds of foam kicked up at the bottom when the water levels are at their highest. Overlooking a steep, crescent-shaped head of a valley carpeted with pristine tropical forest, Dudhsagar is set amid breathtaking scenery that is only accessible on foot or by Jeep; the old Vasco-Castle Rock railway actually passes over the falls on an old stone viaduct, but services along it are infrequent. |

ARVALEM WATERFALLS
This waterfall, which cascades down from the mountains, from a height of 50 meters, is one of the most awe-amazing spots and moreover best viewed after the monsoons. This charming waterfall is a mind-blowing experience. The Rock cut caves are just situated nearby. The Government has also developed a park from which the view of the waterfall can be peacefully relished. The ancient caves in the vicinity adds a touch of antiquity to this picturesque place, which finds a major attraction for the film makers as a favourite shooting spot. Situated in Sanquelim. There are Buddhist cave temples here which were later converted for worship to Shiva. The water falls are formed at the end of a small gorge and are worth viewing especially during the monsoons. A mini power plant was installed, but has since stop functioning. Near the waterfall, is the temple of Sri Rudreshwar and this site is important for the religious function to appease the souls of the departed Hindu religion followers on the 12th day of the death.
