This trek is not allowed by the Government of Goa ( Forest Department) as it is very risky being on a railway track with minimum safety.

During the monsoon season, it is mandatory to hire a guide and get a life jacket in order to start the trek, otherwise, entry inside the forest is restricted because the area experiences extremely heavy rainfall, and the water displacement around the fall is potentially very large, so it is always better to carry a life jacket.
