The stage was set, the actors were ready, and it was time to give the shot. Action!
All geared up on our Activas, we left our hotel by 8 am to get smitten by the mesmerizing tiered waterfalls called Dudhsagar Falls. We didn’t have much information on how to reach there, but we had the two so-called guides in our group who boasted of their preparations. After an hour and a half travel, we reached Collem in South Goa, a place defined to be close-by the cascading waterfalls.
As we moved on the trail, leading up to Dudhsagar something unimaginable happened. Some young guys, dressed up like goons, approached and demanded us to stop venturing further. Filled with enthusiasm, we ignored them and kept driving. Hardly two minutes ahead and we had to stop since there was a railway crossing. The goons caught us there and gave us warnings to stop going further as Activas are not meant to venture in those areas. Since we were not listening to their warnings, they intimidated us by yelling that the native people over there will break our scooters and there are no garages over there.

The guys with their wives took notice of this and decided to stop there and return. But two guys in our group were unstoppable and decided to play a hero and venture further no matter what. After a brief moment of tussle within the group, the two guys blazed off on an Activa like the heroes going to rescue their heroines, with a bandana on their head and spirit in their heart.
In the meanwhile, the four of us waited to discuss about the plan.
What happened next! Did the two jawans conquered Dudhsagar waterfalls?
Of course not. The trail indeed was not meant to be covered on scooters. The best way to reach the waterfall is via train, which leaves on time. So, please check the railway website and book your tickets. Don’t venture out like we did. We didn’t get to visit these amazing waterfalls. Hopefully, next time we will plan and not miss the early morning train.
