 The
union territory has lush green forests covered with tall trees,
meandering rivers, large waterfronts, cascading waterfalls,
the gentle gurgle of streams, the distant hills, and a gorgeous
kaleidoscope of flora and fauna. The serene and sylvan land
of Dadra and Nagar Haveli is Nature at her best.
 This
quiet magical land of 70 villages, sandwiched between the states
of Maharashtra and Gujarat, near Daman, was under the Portuguese,
till it attained freedom in 1954. The people took over the administration
under the system of self-government.
The hospitable native tribals have their own customs, dances
and rituals, which are quite fascinating.
