Discover Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu

This union territory, formed by merging the two former territories in 2020, offers a unique blend of tribal culture and Portuguese colonial heritage. Dadra and Nagar Haveli is nestled between Gujarat and Maharashtra and is rich in forested hills and tribal traditions, while Daman and Diu, located on the western coast, are known for their pristine beaches, forts, and churches reflecting Portuguese architecture. Daman Fort and St. Paul’s Church in Diu are popular tourist destinations.

The region combines natural beauty with cultural diversity. It is home to indigenous tribes, especially in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and exhibits vibrant local crafts and festivals. Its coastal regions are developing into tourist hotspots, attracting those interested in heritage, sea views, and seafood. Though small in size, the territory plays an important role in preserving a distinctive cultural identity shaped by tribal roots and colonial influences.
