Dudhsagar Day-2

We left Sonaulim in the early morning as we had to reach our destination as soon as possible. It was around 5 kms. more. We walked and finally reached the spot where we were supposed to stay on the previous day - The Dudhsagar viewpoint.


The Milk Sea was looking as beautiful and fresh as ever.Parag sir lit a 'chool' over there and prepared the tea.


The Milk Sea in its full Glory

We enjoyed the beauty of Dudhsagar while taking the sips.We climbed up till Dudhsagar and explored the area.

A Mushroom



Xyleria (Dead man's Fingers)



Another species of Xyleria



Nephrolepis (Fern)




Plane



Malabar Torrent Dart (Male)


The first and only mammal sighting was over there. We saw around a dozen of bonnet macaques(Macaca radiata). Some on huge rocks and some, walking skillfully on the railway track.
We also spotted a monitor lizard.
It was already time, and we decided to come back by train. We finally got the train after waiting for around 2 hours.It was a carriage train and it was fun travelling on it standing outside.Finally we reached Collem and drove back home in the car.Our Dudhsagar expedition was successful.
