About The Trip

Tucked away on the Goa–Karnataka border, yet very much Goa at heart, Dudhsagar Falls is the kind of place that makes you stop in your tracks. As the water crashes down from over 1,000 metres, it spreads into a foamy white sheet, earning its name – Dudhsagar, the “Sea of Milk.” Standing before it, with the roar in your ears and the mist on your skin, you understand why it’s counted among the five highest waterfalls in India.

But this trip isn’t just about ticking off a famous waterfall. We’re here for the thrill of the journey — trekking through lush forest trails, the sound of streams keeping us company, and that first glimpse of the falls peeking through the greenery. After the trek, we slow things down and explore the quieter, more soulful side of Goa. Think a hidden beach where golden sands meet turquoise waters, forts with sweeping views, and sunsets that look like they’ve been painted just for you.

Still wondering if this trip is for you? Let’s make it easy
1. Why go with Plan The Unplanned?
AC travel, interstate taxes, stays, meals, and a flexible Day 2 — all included. Plan it yourself and you’ll spend more (and miss the fun).

2. What’s different about this Dudhsagar trip?
You’re not just seeing the falls — you’ll trek through lush forests, chill at a secret South Goa beach, and stay in a cosy homestay away from the crowds.

3. Why book early?
Spots for Dudhsagar are limited and sell out fast. The Forest Department has strict entry caps, so early booking = guaranteed entry.

4. Any perks for booking now?
Yep! Early Bird prices for the first 10 bookings, your seat locked in, and zero last-minute FOMO.

Trip Highlights:

  • Trek to one of India’s tallest and most powerful waterfalls
  • Walk through dense forests and scenic trails
  • Witness the raw beauty of a secret South Goa beach
  • Catch panoramic views from historic forts
  • Enjoy a laid-back holiday with just the right mix of adventure and relaxation

This isn’t your usual Goa getaway. It’s an invitation to see a wilder, more untamed side of it — and once you’ve been, you’ll never look at Goa the same way again.

Detail Itinerary


Meals Not Included | (Dinner break ( Self-sponsored ))


Details

We begin our journey on Friday evening. We’ll start early compared to the usual trek as we have over 560 KMs to cover. Reaching on time is very essential as the trek is a long one.  So, once we get out of the iconic Bangalore traffic and hit the Mumbai- Bangalore highway, our energetic trek leads will take over. Armed with fun activities & ice-breaking sessions, you’ll soon feel at home after knowing about everyone else on the bus. The trek leads will brief the itinerary of the trip ahead and leave you to catch some much-needed sleep.



All Meals

Trek

Homestay | (Multiple sharing basis separate for men and women Doms / Rooms / Tents)


Details

If you look outside, you should be on the narrow country roads of Goa, surrounded by vast lands of untouched wilderness. Embrace the untouched Goa while we slowly drive into Kulem through winding roads & picturesque landscapes.


The stay is one of the best you can find in Kulem and is only a minute’s walk from where the bus will be parked. Get your luggage, check into the designated rooms & freshen up quickly. Grab breakfast from the buffet table, pick up your packed lunch and start the trek. It is mandatory to have a guide and life jackets along with you. Without these, entry into the national park will be prohibited. The initial walk is along the train tracks. This portion of the trek is about 4 KMs but is the most daunting one of all. It truly tests your patience and endurance while you’re taking baby steps. Watch out for the odd train and get off the tracks. You will be accompanied by chirps of birds, running streams, some hidden waterfalls & of course your new-found family.

No need to rush on this track as we have ample time to cover the rest of the trek, more so because of the slippery rocks on the tracks. After about 4 KMs of walking on the tracks, we enter the jeep trail.

The trail from here is pretty flat and is filled with running water streams and dense evergreen forest stretches. After about 40 minutes of walking, you will reach the village of Sonaulim, which is marked by a shack selling refreshments and a Hindu temple on your right-hand side.

The trail gets narrow from here, as you take a shortcut to avoid a longer jeep trail. The falls are only a 30 Mins walk from here.Once you take the shortcut, you will get to see the adjoining mountain ranges. These ranges are the physical boundaries between Karnataka & Goa. After a walk through the muddy trail, you will encounter a hanging bridge. The bridge is slightly inclined, so be sure to hold onto the rope and walk slowly.


Once on the other side of the bridge, the narrow trail continues until we hit the jeep trail again. You can get the first glimpse of the mighty Waterfall on this trail. And soon after getting a glimpse of the falls, you will see the entrance to Dudhsagar falls. There are changing rooms and a police outpost as well. After crossing a river stream filled with slippery rocks, and water flowing with incredible force, we’ll reach the foot of the fall.
We’ll stop here for lunch and refresh ourselves with a jump into the pool at the foot of the fall.

We’ll head back to basecamp on the same way back and take a refreshing bath.

Details

Today’s motto? No plans, only vibes. This isn’t a fixed itinerary — instead, we’ll let the day flow and decide our stops together. Possible highlights include the hidden paradise of Butterfly Beach (a small, sheltered bay surrounded by hills — perfect for those “secret beach” feels), panoramic views from Cabo de Rama Fort, and the golden sands of Palolem Beach. Along the way, we might wander into tiny fishing villages, sip chai at a clifftop shack, or watch the sun melt into the Arabian Sea from a quiet, off-the-map spot. In South Goa, the best adventures aren’t scheduled — they’re discovered.

Additional Information

Guidelines for a Smooth and Enjoyable Experience

  • Prohibited items: For the safety and comfort of all, the use of alcohol, intoxicants, or smoking is not allowed at any point during the journey and trek.

  • Meals before departure: If you have opted for the “With Travel” option, please complete your dinner before boarding the bus, as no dinner will be provided en route.

  • Travel arrangements: Transport is arranged based on the group size, but both options have push-back seats for your comfort. A non-AC tempo traveller will be arranged for groups of up to 12 trekkers, and a non-AC minibus for groups of 13 and more.

  • Independent travel: If you prefer to arrange your private transportation to the destination, select the "Without Travel" option on the booking page. In this case, you must have access to a private car for the entire duration of the trip. Public transport is limited and unreliable due to the remote locations. While scheduled activities start at the homestay, you will require your own mode of private transport to move around and participate in activities on Day 2.

  • Accommodation standards: Our trips are nature-focused and often in remote locations. The accommodations provided are basic, clean, and comfortable. We do not promise or organise luxury amenities.

  • Meals provided: We offer simple vegetarian meals throughout the trip. Non-vegetarian food will not be provided.

  • Environmental responsibility: We follow a strict Leave No Trace policy in accordance with the rules of the Forest Department. While plastic is not allowed, everyone is expected to carry all waste back to the base and dispose of it responsibly. Together, let’s leave the hills better than we found them.

  • Your personal belongings: You are solely responsible for your personal belongings, valuables, and jewellery. Plan The Unplanned is not liable for any lost or damaged items.

  • Delays and unforeseen events: While we aim to be on schedule, delays may occur due to traffic or vehicular issues beyond our control. We request your cooperation in case of slight delays in reaching our destination.
