Start your second day by visiting Dudhsagar Waterfalls located in Mollem National Park. The area's natural beauty is breathtaking. The falls offers a picturesque view of a milky white cascade of water falling from a cliff surrounded by lush greenery. Take a swim in the refreshing natural pool at the waterfall base.
