How Overtourism Can Damage Ecologically Fragile Areas

Dudhsagar Falls, located in the Western Ghats, is Goa's highest and largest waterfall. Pouring down in milky torrents (hence the name, which means "sea of milk"), the waterfall is created by the Khandepar River, a tributary of the Mandovi. Dudhsagar plummets 310m off a lofty ridge bisected by a railway track and a bridge. The rail track from Londa snakes down south and passes by the falls before heading northwest in a wide curve to Collem, giving train passengers a good view of the cascade.
