Can I drive to Dudhsagar Falls in a private taxi?

Is Dudhsagar open in September?
Usually yes — September is actually the best month as water flow is spectacular (post-monsoon peak). However, forest department access can close after extreme rainfall. Always WhatsApp to confirm the day before.
Can I visit Dudhsagar without a tour group?
Yes — a pre-booked private taxi + individual jeep tickets at Kulem gives you a fully independent, private experience without the large-group dynamic.
