DUDHSAGAR WATERFALL
Very interesting adventures in Goa
Also, watch our travel films on Youtube
We will be pleased if you like this article.
It costs you nothing, but a good deed is done :-)
A trip to the jungle of Goa to the Dudhsagar waterfall is a very bright event of our trip to India. In old jeeps we crossed the river and drove into the dense jungle.
In this jungle, we met the very first termite mound in our life. Up to this point, we have only seen termite mounds in travel TV shows.
We stopped at a spice factory and learned a lot of information about Indian spices. A spice factory is just a jungle site where a variety of beneficial plants are cultivated. Before entering the factory, they put a bindi on everyone's forehead - a red dot.
It was interesting to see how coconuts are harvested in the jungle. This is impressive. Workers jump from palm to palm with absolutely no insurance. See for yourself:
When the tour of the spice factory is over, a cool tincture of saffron is poured into the collar of each visitor. This is the local secret to fighting the heat. Indeed, such a procedure is very refreshing. But then the visitors look a little strange :-)
Refreshed, we went to get acquainted with the elephants that live near the spice factory. As one of Bulgakov's heroes used to say: "An elephant is a useful animal!" And this is true - elephants are constantly busy with work. They either carry goods or entertain tourists.
And only the kindest tourists do not make the elephants work, but they themselves take care of the animal's well-being. As soon as the elephant gets dirty, such kind tourists immediately take him to swim. While the elephant is bathing, it is thoroughly washed using half a coconut instead of a sponge.
And then, if the elephant likes water procedures, he can thank his new friend by bathing him with a fountain of water from his trunk.
After the elephants, we went to the monkeys. The monkeys living near the waterfall are completely tame. They are absolutely not afraid of a person.
And here we are at the Dudhsagar waterfall. Its peculiarity is the railway bridge that crosses the waterfall. A very mesmerizing picture when a train rushes through the waterfall. I can imagine what kind of train passengers.
Did I swim in the waterfall? Of course!
