Map |
| The union territories of Daman and
Diu lie on the edge of the southern borders of Gujarat, in western India.
The northern side of the isolated island, Diu, facing Gujarat, is made of
tidal marsh and saltpans, while the southern coast alternates between
limestone cliffs, rocky coves and sandy beaches. Known for their beaches and
exotic liquors, these twin islands are a tourist's haven for escaping the
cacophony of mundane life. Be it the rich historic past or the faint songs
of the anglers, everything in Daman and Diu assist in creating a paradise
for one in search of tranquility. |
