About Dadar
Nagar Haveli
Small is beautiful and so is Dadra & Nagar Haveli, It is
love at first sight. The tall awesome trees, the rivers
flowing past them, the green grass mingling with fields
of darker green, and the distant hills dotting gently
rolling hills. Whether it is the summer, which dries the
land, or the southwest monsoon whipping the wind-swept
trees and turning the land into an endless stretch of
green, it won’t matter. You’ll love the serene and the
calm land of Dadra & Nagar Haveli.
Many hands have ruled this quiet magical land of 72
villages. And the memory of these rulers still lingers
on, for a century and a half, the fiery Portuguese were
the masters of the land. When the land was liberated
from their rule, it was taken over by the locals until
it merged with the Indian Union. As a land it is not
very large, only 491 sq. Kms. is covered with forests
and woods, a heaven for the simple, colourful tribal
folks. But as a place, it will stay on the margins of
your mind.
Silva, in Portuguese means Woods. And this can be seen
when you visit Silvassa, the tiny, sleepy capital
township. Tall trees reaching for the heavens line the
roads. Off the beaten track, little cottages back in the
warm sun or lie in the shadows of the trees.
