About Dahanu Tourism

Dahanu is a beautiful seaside town located in the Thane district of the state of Maharastra. Located close to the state border with Gujarat, Dahanu is a scenic town with views of the Arabian Sea. It is an important coastal town of the state and is the municipal council of the Thane district. The name of the town originates from the word “Dhenu Gram” which literally means village of cows. This name was given to the town because at one point of time a majority of the people of the town owned cows and cattle. In recent years, the town has emerged as an important commercial and industrial town of the state with many factories and industries. The nearest airport is the Mumbai Airport which is about 145 kilometres away. The town is quite picturesque with its peaceful stretch of sea beach, coconut groves and casuarina trees lined by the beach area, rose gardens, and the beautiful fruit orchards. In fact, Dahanu is known for its chickoo production and 50 percent of the country’s chickoo production comes from here. The beach here is quite beautiful and clean, and is a great place to spend the day. The sea here does not have much current and remains peaceful, making it ideal for swimming and enjoying a relaxed time by the beach. The beach in Dahanu stretches up to around 17 kilometres. There are a number of temples in and around the town. There is a well known Jain Temple around the fort area in the Dahanu village. The people of the area were originally tribal and they still retain the tribal culture and tradition which add to the charm of the place. While in Dahanu, tourists can also choose to visit Udwada which is known for its beautiful Parsi temple with the sacred fire. The best time to visit Dahanu is during the months of October to March. During this time the weather is pleasant and comfortable to explore the town and its beach. Summers are hot and humid and best avoided. Read More >>

You can get Veg & Non Veg food with in the hotel but for Pure Vegetarian, there is only 1 hotel (Chandrika) near Dahanu Station which serves good food & very cheap. From Dahanu beach, station is just 2 kms distance & its easy to commute via shared auto rickshaw's which charges only Rs.10/- per person. On the beach, you can have Pani Puri, Bhel Puri, Corn, Malai Gola etc at very cheap rates.

Activities & things to do: No activities & no things to do. As i mentioned, its all about mind rejuvenating & rest & be away from the fast & crowded life of Metro's. Horse riding & Camel riding can be done for just Rs.30/- per person.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: There are various trains from Mumbai & Ahmedabad/Vadodara/Surat that halts at dahanu Station. Its just 2hrs from Mumbai, on the way to Gujarat.
