the precipitous rocky cliffs into a plunge pool beneath. The
cascading water of the Dudhsagar Waterfalls down the height
of 200 ft appears silvery white in color so the name Dudhsagar

over which the Dudhsagar Waterfalls descends , overlooks a
steep, crescent-shaped valley covered with lush carpet of
greenery. There is dense tropical forest all around.
