This quiet magical land of 72 villages Dadar and Nagar Haveli is an enchanting land with tall trees, rivers, lush green grass and distant hills. For a century and a half, the Portuguese ruled the roost. Silva, in Portuguese means Woods. This is exemplified in Silvassa, the capital town with tall trees reaching to the heavens line the roads. Barely 5 kms from Silvassa is Vanganga Lake and Island Garden where songs of more than 25 Hindi feature films have been pictured. The rustic wooden bridges, sea of flowers, jogging paths, thatched huts, paddle boats – make it a honeymoon destination. 20 kms drive from Silvassa on a road lined with tall trees in midst of forest is Khanvel, the beautiful verdant land surrounded by lush green hills. Enjoy the Deer Park, cactus house and green house in the vicinity. Another 20 kms drive from Khanvel is Dudhni where the large waterfront of river Damanganga providing breathtaking view of the water spread over Madhuban Dam. The luxurious tents pitched right near the bank offers a countryside experience. On Silvassa-Dadra Road is a Garden with the roaring waterfalls, misty cascades, rustic stonewalls, twin arches, and springy lawns.
