Re: 4 Riders, 1300+ KMs, 2 days : A ride to Explore Dudhsagar Waterfalls
Day 2: The Falls..
I woke up and looked at the watch. It was 09:30 AM! And the best part was i was not having any body pains
(le me was feeling refreshed). Slowly, everyone woke up (in the meantime we received message from Advyth that he already have left from Goa and is on his way towards Bangalore). We got freshened up and by 10:30 AM we were all ready for the day. The plan was simple: Go out, have breakfast, and head out towards the Dudhsagar falls.
We went out and entered the first decent restaurant we saw (Lavi's Restaurant) and ordered for English Breakfast. The quality of the food was really good and it took us good 1 hour to finish it (chattering was on in the middle as always). We slowly headed out of the restaurant and made our way to the falls now. We had already decided in the meantime (over breakfast) that we would not be taking our steeds to the falls, rather we would be taking the jeep there. It actually ended up being the right decision (the pictures would show why). Anyways, there was this thing going around that one jeep was to carry only 6 persons (and we were 3), so we had to wait for another 3 persons to jump in. Luckily, 3 Russians came and showed interest in sharing the jeep with us. So, things got sorted out and we waited for the jeep to arrive for us. The jeep arrived after 30 more minutes and we hopped in. The next few pictures show the route to the falls.
It was a good 15 odd KMs of bumpy ride and it was completely worth it. Ultimately we were able to make it to the waterfalls gate and it was another 1KM of short trek. Few pictures from the trek are as follows.
The first view of the waterfalls.
Again, mesmerized by the natural beauty around us, and spending some quality time at the falls, we headed our way back. Click some few pictures on the way back though.
On the way back to Colva beach, we hit lot of traffic and although i wanted to capture some sunset scenes by the beach, it seemed like that is not going to happen. By the time we reached Colva, it was already dark. We did not waste time but to take some rest and got freshened up. Our plan was to leave at night from Goa and head back to Bangalore, so we finished our check out formalities in the evening itself. A good rest and a good dinner were the two things which we wanted, but sadly, we did not get either. We hunted the place for something new (Goa special, seafood especially) but every restaurant was either over crowded or was not worth dining it. We finally wrapped our dinner at a local restaurant and headed back to resort to get some short much needed nap. We set our alarm for 01:30 AM.
Next Up: Day 3: Home Run..
