The 3 Days Silvassa & Dudhni is a 3-day route through Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, built for a long weekend or a first short break. Portuguese forts, quiet beaches and tribal forests. This itinerary strings together Silvassa and Dudhni, moving at a balanced pace — enough time at each stop to see it properly rather than through a window.
Silvassa surprises travellers who expect a mere industrial town (its factories are real, thanks to tax-haven decades) — because the town sits in one of western India's greenest pockets, the old Portuguese Nagar Haveli between the Western Ghats' spurs, where the Daman Ganga river spreads into the Madhuban reservoir and the countryside is tribal Warli homeland.
