Daman..Ab toh lag gaya Mannnn

Guys,

Yeah..Daman !! Daman was our impromptu planned decision...anyways, Daman can not be a planned tourist spot for many..but why not !!

Completely satisfied is what i call the experience at Daman...My husband kept telling me right from the journey start that my expectation needs to be NIL so that i enjoy whatever is stored...Thats when i went there with 0 expectation and it turned out to be good..Yeah..good !

Guys, that’s what i define as a quiet holiday..away from the traffic and chaos…Something that’s beautiful about Daman is its look and feel..the relics of Portuguese past…the legacy to some extent still lives on- in life, the buildings( church, forts and so on..).Being the closest wet region in South Gujarat, its a popular destination for those who want to wet their throats occasionally close to home. Beer flows at every corner and one can see the young crowd absolutely in the mood…A day prior to our exit was elections at Daman and the chilled ambience converted into little grim where, one could see people desperately in search of a beer shop…shops were closed a day prior from noon and those with zero planning were totally left in lurch.
Daman seems to be very safe city for one and all, and hooglism is rare unlike other tourist places where, the local auto / taxi wala take you for a good ride. Some places were absolute pleasure visiting..Our viist to The Chapel of our Lady Rosary located within the fort was one such…and of course the sunsets are so magical ! Spent some quality time at Devka and Jambore beach where the latter was comparatively better maintained than the former..Nothing beats lazing and dozing off on a shack when you have a good company.

I have always loved places with low population density and Daman was just perfect ! A few people scattered here and there... and you at times , do get the Goa feeling here..though the profile of people visit both these places are pole apart...didnt see a single firang here during my 4 day stay.

Staying at Silver Sand was a good experience…it’s an absolute value for money ! The food was quite decent and we landed up eating all our meals from the resort itself.Rooms were okay..could have been little better in terms of hygiene but nevertheless hospitality of the staff was at place.

Stress free traveling and good food combined with a decent stay ..We just had a good time !


Trains from Borivili lands you to Vapi and from there you get easy access to Daman through multiple options like Taxis and Autos and the charges are quite nominal. Realized that it could be a easy and better options to plan extended weekends at Daman ( and why not ! good food + relax cozy nominal stay and of course cheap liquor ) makes it a good choice !

  1. Nice one. I really liked your post. Equip yourself with a map from the Nani Daman Tourist Office The most appealing historical aspects of the fort are the many churches, chapels and monasteries. The Dominican Seminary, even in its ruined state, offers a glimpse of old Daman. Check out all best places to visit in Daman also.
