Dadra & Nagar Haveli
Surrounded by Gujarat and Maharashtra, only a short distance from the blue of the Arabian Sea, Dadra and Nagar Haveli is actually a tie-up of 72 villages that were once governed by the Portuguese. With its capital at Silvassa, it is a haven for travellers seeking solitude in the lap of nature.Located 180km from Mumbai, it is an attractive getaway for city dwellers with peaceful picnic spots, placid lakes, cascading waterfalls, winding rivers and verdant undulating vistas. 'Small and idyllic' is what this Union Territory is called by every travel glossy and brochure!
