Dudhsagar Jungle Hike, Zipline & Waterfall Dip — Private Adventure Near Goa
Spend a day hiking private rainforest trails, cooling off beneath Dudhsagar Falls and flying a zipline above the canopy. This private full-day trip combines local plant lore, a visit to the Tambdi Surla temple and an adrenaline hit—ideal for travelers with moderate fitness.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails include slick laterite and exposed roots—sturdy trail or hiking shoes reduce slip risk.
Bring swimwear and quick-dry towel
You’ll likely get wet at Dudhsagar’s plunge pool; a towel and swimwear make the dip comfortable.
Mind the monsoon closure
The tour doesn’t operate June–September; plan visits in dry-season months for safe access.
Carry insect repellent
Forest walks and temple grounds attract mosquitoes—repellent and long sleeves at dusk help.
