Daman is a tiny strip of land, beautiful and rich with a glorious past. It is a place where one can witness the beauty of both west and east. Daman was part of Portuguese territory from 1531 until they handed over their authority to India on 1961 along with Diu and Goa. The churches, Forts, and Portuguese cottages still remind a period in the pages of history. The town is divided into two half by the calmly flowing Daman Ganga River. Enjoying the beauty of Daman during Monsoon season is an exuberating experience. The drizzling rain, cold breeze adds more colour to this historic town. The Mumbai- Ahmedabad highway road where Daman is located looks beautiful in rain. The bushes and tress along the roadside looks greener than ever. The true Monsoon lovers should try Daman during the season.
To reach Daman by air, the nearest airport is in Mumbai which is less than 200 km away. Hire a taxi, the town lies in between Mumbai- Ahmedabad Highway. The roadways are excellent and well maintained. There are good reasonable accommodation facilities in and around Daman.
