Heavy Rains Halt Train Passing Through Goa’s Dudhsagar Waterfall; Video Looks Magical

Known as the sea of milk, Dudhsagar Waterfall is the fifth-highest waterfall in India and lies on the Belgaum–Vasco da Gama rail route in Goa. The cascading waters of Dudhsagar fall from a height of around 1020 feet and the views are breathtaking, especially during monsoons. Recently, a train passing through the waterfall was halted owing to low visibility after heavy rainfall. A video was captured, where a mighty volume of water is seen lashing down like clouds, drenching the train and its lush green surroundings. The misty video looks like a piece of a dream and it’s leaving netizens awestruck.
