Trek to Dushsagar Falls

We were a group of 20 adventurers who started the Train journey from Hyderabad to Castle Rock Station. I did not know that I was about to spend some really wonderful moments with these 19 unknown people.

Trek which we followed was filled with heart filling greenery, gentle showers of monsoon, dark horrifying tunnels cutting through the mighty Western Ghat mountains and the pleasure of walking (while carrying all our luggage on our shoulders.)





After five hours of trekking through the mountains along a fairly zero slope railway track, we reached our destination - A breath taking view of a real mighty fall! It was such a pleasure to see this white cladding monster waiting there for tired travelers like us.



It was monsoon time and the fall was at its best. We let ourselves free in its streams. On one hand water was soothing in some small adobes of accumulation; on another it was really powerful where it had to make its way to move. Ah! the pressure of free flowing water.





After spending one night under the mist within our fairly safe tents, we trekked towards to a small town in Goa called Kollam.



At Kollam we had delicious Goan food and from there came back to Hyderabad via Londa with lots of smiles and a heart filled with gratitude towards the créateur belle, nature!
