The Mankad family of Mumbai wanted to go to an exotic destination for a holiday. They decided to take a week off and chill in the little UnionTerritory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli. This is an ideal and off-beat destination for a holiday amidst nature. The capital town of Silvassa is 14 km from Vapi, Gujarat (the nearest railway station), and 180 km from Mumbai. If you drive from Mumbai, take the Mumbai-Baroda national highway. Silvassa is a pretty town wrapped in greenery and has many parks and open spaces for tourists.
The Tribal Cultural Museum gives you a complete insight into the tribal way of life of the people in this region. It has household implements, costumes, masks, weapons, and implements on display.
Mini Zoo and Children's Park is the place to head for with the kids. Have a pleasant outing watching colourful birds, monkeys and crocodiles in their enclosures.
Van Udyan and Pipariya Udyan are two beautifully landscaped gardens with fountains, waterfalls and flowerbeds in bloom. You can have a picnic or spend the pleasant evening hours here.
