Near to Bombay and far from its maddening crowd, 'Daman' is an erstwhile Portuguese enclave, and a picturesque port town, is a popular getaway for most city dwellers. Daman has been a coveted prize for which princes and potentates, indigenous satraps and alien powers waged wars. Muted memories of history lie vaulted in the monuments of Daman, gathering the slime of time. Daman is non-pareil. Daman has, what it takes and more, to gratify whims of sun bathers, beachcombers, sight-seers, swimmers, monument lovers, shoppers and ultimate escapists!

 Here is exquisite seafood to satisfy the palate: pomfret, prawn, dadha, Bombay duck, crab, the list is endless while the quaint bars and modern restaurants satisfy the pleasure of life.
Within its 72 sq. km, there is everything a tourist looks for: gentle winds, soft sand, inviting waters, historic churches, majestic forts in their imposing splendor, coconut groves, stately palms and sleepy villages nestled on the creeks! The people are unique in their diversity and hospitality. Hindus, Christians, Muslims and Parsees- all live in harmony and make Daman a heart warming place- where people, it would appear, know only one language- that spells out WELCOME in bold.
