Then take a guided walk through a spice plantation of pepper, cardamom, cinnamon and cashew, followed by a Goan lunch on banana leaves.

Shamrock travel tip: the Dudhsagar jeep trip runs only after the monsoon, usually from October to May. Carry water, a hat and shoes with good grip for the short walk to the falls. See our Shamrock India Travel Tips.
