While living a busy life throughout the everyday norm of society, hiking allows you to detach for a moment. At it’s rawest form, there is no better feeling than enjoying a beautiful view while walking through nature as humans were most truly meant to do. We(me,srikant n zia) started for dhoodhsagar on Friday (20july) with travel agency called escape to explore. Its been 6 months I had not been put of station and I wann badly wnn go out my normal life.. Intilal pick mentioned on site was at 10.15 near RR Nagar arcade, again crew member of e2e changed to 8 pm n again changed to 9pm but eventually they picked us from RR at 10.15 pm which is mentioned in site till then had chit chat with us in mall... TT showed all over bangalore n picked other 9 members(4gals &5 boys) by 12am.. So totally 12 +1 crew member (Beloved guide Nadeem) We chit chat again n again n slept some times.. Finally we all reached ramnagar around 7am which located between dharwad - belgavi roads. Made 2 rooms separate for freshen up & along with decent tiffeen. Around 9.30Am we left for treking from Ramnagar & reached small villege from colem & started our treking with short intro & group pic by our guide where he also opned up with other & enjoyed greenry,climate,rain,forest nature & small falls here & there Almost we trek about 12-14 Km & reached a small hut, where we had yummy veg food(veg curry,roti,rice,dal & papad) & then took small walk in forest area to reach most awaited dhoodhsagar with PLAN A i.e.passing through small fall with safety rope but water waves was so high on that day, we cancelled that and moved towards PLAN B i.e, passing through forest & reaching railway track(Tunnel no 15)near to sonaulim railway station & little far from Actual dhoodhsagar(Tunnel 12) epic nature scenary. on the way we found few insects,repetiles which are very friendly ;) & it was raining heavily but we didnt stop but enjoyed each & every bit of it coz It's an activity that brings folks together. You will bond with people you'd likely never have talked to otherwise. Click photos along with beautiful nature & found many passing trains on the way. Reached to small hut again for yummy yummy foods(Mashroom curry,veg curry,roti,rice,dal & papad) & also had snacks which treking team mates had brought. Slept in cool,breezy, rainy & well created tent around 12 AM & we got up around 3AM for catching a train from sonaulim railway station where it stops only for 30 secs. our Beloved Guide Nadeem done all plans well & manaaged all of us. actually i never felt he is guide but more that he's among us for trek along with other trekers. Trekking may show you that you are far stronger than you believed! Your legs, and your mind! You meant to walk 8 miles, or 10, or 15, and you find yourself still powering on as you hit that mark. Truly, its a different kind of activity. It gives you time to think about everything, or nothing at all. It's an incredible experience, that is capable of showing you who you are, for better or worse.

It was amazing experience I enjoyed both the trek and our trek guide nadeem is excellent at his guidance and management.doodhsagar and kodachadri trek is my life experience.thanks to e2e

I was a bit sceptical of this trek initialy until we reached Ramnagara.. Then started enjoying, since I spoke to all there.. we got freshened up in a decent looking lodge with a decent breakfast.. started off to Dhudsagar.. We were 12 of them out of which I was the solo traveler.. Beautiful Climate, amazing route.. I was waiting to see atleast one wild Animal unfortunately since it was Monsoon hardly could see only the cattles. We stopped near Dhudsagar spa and resort , took off in a jeep .. a very friendly driver who claims to know many languages.. We started trekking after the railway gate.. a quick intro session.. it was then where the guide opened up.. His name was Nadeem.. a very cool guy, with great experience in trekking and especially Dhudsagar.. guided us well.. it was sooo damn green every where.. mini waterfalls, stream of water.. got to see a baby Snake as well... We walked for about 3-4 hours untill we reached a beautiful hut where we stopped for lunch and keep our heavy luggage... It wa a decent veg food.. enough to fill your hungry tummy.. We left to Dhudsagar from der most of it was walking on the railway track.. oh Mann!! It was the most amazing experience waking through the tunnel.. the view of falls from far.. rain.. cool breeze.. after about 4 tunnels finally reached the spot.. it was a mind-blowing view.. truly stands out to it's name milky water fall.. I would love to visit this palace again and again.. makes you forget the worldly tensions.. and just feeds you with peace and happiness... It's a MUST visit for all trek enthusiasts and nature lovers.. Best places I have ever seen.. this place was featured in a Kannada movie called Mynaa also Chennai express.. a hindi movie.. Tips:- carry less luggage..proper shoes and flipflops.. raincoat a must... Cheers to escape to explore team!! And our guide Nadeem!!!

Dudhsagar is a popular place not only in Goa but throughout the India. When I saw this amazing trek listed on Escape2Explore, I immediately booked the package. I stay in Bangalore and since the place is a bit far from here, we were provided with transportation facilities which made the whole journey convenient. The major attraction of this whole tour is the sight of Dudhsagar waterfalls, nothing looks as good as how this waterfall looks. It is by far the best falls I have seen. This is a trek that spans two whole days so you need to be prepared. Escape2Explore has done a wonderful job in sharing all the trek related information directly on their website. The accommodation provided to us during both the days was well maintained and comfortable. The team that handled us took utmost care of us throughout the journey and this is the reason why I will always choose Escape2Explore.
