For all its diminutive size, Daman is a huge draw for tourists because it is packed with attractions including stunning scenic landscapes, with a depth of history. Formerly a Portuguese colony, this city in the union territory of Daman & Diu has some of the loveliest beaches in the Arabian Sea. Liberated in 1961, the town still carries haunting memories of a tumultuous era, which witnessed the colonial rule.
The river Daman Ganga divides the town into two parts Moti Daman and Nani Daman. Daman is separated from Gujarat by the Kolak River in the north and the Kalai river in the south
