Several social media users expressed their excitement upon seeing the diplomat tweet about one of India’s treasured gems. They called Dudhsagar falls beautiful. A Twitter user wrote, “Erik, I have been born here 70 kilometers away from the falls, this area is between Goa and Karnataka border.”

“Erik Solheim Ji, very thankful to you for your love towards India,“ read another comment.

A third user wrote, “Really incredible scene.”

Dudhsagar Falls literally translates to ‘sea of milk.’ It is because of its milky white color that the falls received its name. The falls is one of India’s tallest waterfalls and lies a little farther inland approximately 60 kilometers from Panaji on the Goa – Karnataka Border. This is a popular tourist spot in South Goa only 2 kilometers away from the Sonalium railway station. Many tourists get down there to witness its charm. One can lose themselves in the beauty of the falls at the Mollem National Park or the Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary.
