Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary

This protected forest reserve contains the 12-kilometer off-road jeep trail leading to Dudhsagar Falls.

Access to the waterfall base goes directly through the sanctuary's dense jungle. Private vehicles are not allowed, so you must ride in an official shared 4x4 forest jeep. The route crosses rugged terrain and multiple river streams.

Forest department rules limit daily entry to protect local wildlife. They cap jeep access at 170 to 240 vehicles per day and enforce a strict 90-minute time limit at the waterfall base.
