Disappointed

bit.

Friends
I
hve
een
yearning
to
visit
Dudhsagar
for
years
now.
This
time
finally
I
had
baked
it
into
my
Goa
plan
and
I
was
looking
forward
to
this
trip.
I
was
planning
to
trek
up
to
the
waterfall
(a
11km
trek
oneway).
However
was
discouraged
by
one
and
all
since
I
had
a
10
year
old.
The
main
point
which
stuck
was
the
humidity
factor.
Hence
we
finally
decided
to
do
the
jeep
Safari.
As
per
the
enquires
we
did,
everyone
mentioned
that
we
should
reach
there
before
8am
and
get
a
jeep
ticket
on
the
counter.
We
also
checked
for
any
online
bookings
but
could
not
find
any.
Luckily,
our
driver
showed
us
an
SMS
forward
on
online
booking
website
(dudhsagarjeeps.com).
Hence
we
registered
paying
Rs.10
per
head
for
a
11am
slot
(earlier
slots
were
fully
booked).
This
website
does
not
come
up
on
the
search
engine(maybe
because
it
is
a
new
one).
We
reached
the
counter
around
8
and
we
saw
a
sea
of
people
jostling
for
jeep
tickets.
Forget
social
distancing
(do
we
still
fear
Covid?)
We
were
told
to
come
back
at
10.45am.
Around
100-200
meters
away
from
the
maddening
crowd,
we
found
a
Udipi
pure
veg
hotel
(
its
more
like
a
room
in
a
house).
It's
a
limited
menu
restaurant
run
by
a
couple.
We
were
served
fresh,
hot
and
delicious
Idlis.
As
we
waited
out
there,
we
saw
the
idlis
get
over
and
the
couple
sweetly
preparing
upma
and
poha
for
the
guests
coming
in.
(Goes
without
saying
that
the
guests
would
need
to
give
them
10
mins
to
prepare
the
dish).We
enquired
about
their
lunch
thali
menu
and
gave
them
advance
for
lunch
on
our
way
back.
And
they
did
meet
our
expectation
with
the
yummy
thali.
At
10ish,
our
driver
called
us
asking
us
to
get
into
the
online
que
since
there
was
chaos
around.
Finally
at
round
11.15am
after
all
the
effort
on
a
humid
day,
we
got
a
sharing
jeep.
(Every
jeep
is
permitted
to
take
7
people.
Kids
beyond
the
age
of
4
need
a
ticket).
Life
jackets
are
mandatory
and
arranged
by
the
jeep
drivers.
Overall
the
trip
takes
around
3
hours
(45
minutes
up-down
and
1.5
hours
in
the
waterfall).
However
the
jeep
drivers
oblige
if
you
pay
them
Rs.300
for
an
extra
hour.
This
happened
in
our
case
since
4/5
car
wanted
to
extend
and
others
did
not
have
a
choice.(we
were
told
so
by
the
majority
group
and
the
drivers
as
well)
From
the
parking
the
waterfall
is
around
1-1.5
kms
through
a
rocky
way.
You
can
also
see
the
trains
cross
the
waterfall.
I
realized
it
might
have
been
an
easier
option
to
take
a
train
between
the
two
stations.
In
the
waterfall
are
most
people
stay
on
the
sidelines
since
the
water
pond
is
cold,
deep,
rocky
and
slippery.
There
are
makeshift
toilets
and
changing
rooms.
My
two
cents
if
you
are
want
to
go
-
Book
your
slot
online
on
dudhsagarjeeps.com
(I
could
not
find
it
in
the
Google
searches.
Maybe
it
is
a
new
process)

Carry
water
bottles,
snacks
or
food
especially
if
you
are
traveling
with
kids.
You
don't
get
anything
inside
the
jungle
or
near
the
waterfall.
Some
people
do
fill
their
water
bottles
and
drink
water
in
the
waterfall.
Though
I
understand
it
is
flowing
water
hence
naturallypurified.
I
still
find
it
difficult
to
do
it.
There
are
makeshift
toilets
and
changing
rooms.
Dont
kknow
how
clean
they
are,
but
do
carry
a
set
oof
clothes
and
towels.
If
you
oare
vegetarian/jain
or
like
vegetarian
food,
do
try
the
Udupi
homely
food.
It
is
near
a
parking
lot
100-150
meters
away
from
the
counter.
This
would
take
an
entire
day
unless
it
gets
more
organized.
Hence
don't
have
anything
else
on
the
agenda
for
the
day.
We
came
across
a
lot
of
people
turning
back
without
visiting
the
falls
because
of
lack
of
jeep
tickets
or
other
commitments
(flights,
had
to
reach
another
place
etc)
With
the
crowd
and
management
by
Goa
tourism,
would
recommend
giving
it
a
miss.
