About Daman

Situated on the west coast of India bordered by the Arabian Sea, Daman, a Union Territory, is famous for its clean and picturesque beaches with its 12.5 km long coastline. Surrounded by Maharashtra and Gujarat, Daman is blessed with natural resources, beauty and pleasant climate around the year. An underdeveloped town with a tropical flavor, Daman is divided by the River Damanganga in two major parts. The northern part is called Little Daman or Nani Daman and is filled with restaurants while the southern part is called Moti Daman or Big Daman and is known for its ancient architecture. Remains of the Portuguese atmosphere are seen in its Government buildings and churches.

Famous for its heavenly beaches and liquors, Daman is an ideal place for tourists without any climatic restrictions. The beaches, historical monuments, religious places, and easy availability of some of the exotic brands of Indian and foreign liquor thrown in as a bonus makes Daman a tourist haven especially for the people of neighboring state Gujrat who spend their weekends at Daman.
