L
ush green forests, meandering rivers, large waterfronts, cascading waterfalls,
the gentle gurgle of streams, the distant hills, a gorgeous kaleidoscope
of flora and fauna that is the serene and sylvan land of Dadra and Nagar
Haveli, Nature at her best.
The two main dialects here
are Gujarati and Hindi. This quiet magical land of 70 villages, sandwiched
between the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat, near Daman, was under the
Portuguese, till it got freedom on August 2, 1954. The people took over
the administration under the system of self - government. Bhili, Gujarati
and Hindi are the main languages spoken by the 'adivasi' population.
As an area it is confined
to less than 500 sq. km, covered with tall trees and rivers. The hospitable
and unselfish native tribals have their own customs, dances and rituals
here which are quite fascinating.
The territory enjoys a very
pleasant climate from November to March, which is actually the best time
for a visit. The summer temperature does not go very high, due to
its proximity to the sea, and the nights are really pleasant.
