The union territory has lush green forests covered with tall trees, meandering rivers, large  waterfronts, cascading waterfalls, the gentle gurgle of streams, the distant hills, and a gorgeous kaleidoscope of flora and fauna. The serene and sylvan land of Dadra and Nagar Haveli is Nature at her best. This quiet magical land of 70 villages, sandwiched between the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat, near Daman, was under the Portuguese, till it attained freedom in 1954. The people took over the administration under the system of self-government. The hospitable native tribals have their own customs, dances and rituals, which are quite fascinating.
