Plan The Unplanned

Strategically located on the Goa-Karnataka border (but mainly in Goa), Dudhsagar Falls attracts thousands of tourists to its bounty. The gushing water from the streams creates an illusion of milk flowing through the hill slopes. Well, to put it straight, ‘Dudhsagar’ literally translates to Sea of Milk describing the milky white water trickling down a height of 1,050m. The 5th highest waterfall in India is one of those picturesque falls that give you goosebumps just by looking at the tremendous force of the gushing water.
If you’ve always thought that Goa is just about beer and beaches, then it’s time that you put on your adventurous boots and join us, as we head off to explore these breathtaking falls. Also included in this trip is a mystery beach, that is bound to leave you awestruck with its raw beauty and picturesque landscapes. We were impressed by these beauties, so we put this itinerary together to let you enjoy these hidden gems on a laid-back holiday to Goa.

Located just 186 km from Goa, Honnavar port town stands different in style, culture, and history. While Goa is commercialised and sees tourists flocking from all directions, Honnavar still boasts of traditions sprinkled all over it. It is a quaint town with immense history, varied landscapes, rich culture, and simplicity. On this Honnavar Exploration Trip, you will go on a guided tour to Areca Farm, walk in the Mangrove forest, sightsee Colonel Hill, dip in the beaches, watch the sunset in the backwaters and walk on the Hanging Bridge.
Lying on the bank of the Arabian Sea, this town has attracted and absorbed the culture of different people from countries like Portugal, England and the Netherlands that came here for trade. Apart from the human impact, the natural setting of Mangrove Forest sets the town apart. You will also get to see the Konkan Railway line passing through it.
The town lies at a phenomenal location that forms an estuary: the Arabian Sea at the west and Sharavati River at the south. Agriculture and fishery are evergreen contributors to the economy. Although the Roof Tile industry is declining, it still prospers with beekeeping and Cashew nut processing.
With that being said, this port town is a must-see for it holds so many opportunities for the future. Plan the Unplanned has a particular interest in this port town and would like you to see and experience the same. Read the complete itinerary of the Honnavar Exploration trip for the comprehensive plan and book your tickets at the earliest.

But as always, here at Plan The Unplanned we do things a bit differently and this time it’s no different. We’re taking you to explore a side of Kodai that you barely get to see nowadays, away from the tourist crowds and into untouched and pristine lands.
