Hello,
Today I would like to share my memories of last summer May 2016 of Daman.
I quit my last job and I was at my home during march 2016. I didn't have any trip since long so I was eagerly waiting for someone to asked me for a trip. And here we go, One of my college friend Jitesh came to me and asked me for a trip to Daman. Initially, with a pause, some questions arise in my mind:
How much does it cost to?
How much time will it take?
What are the traveling options we have?
And most important that can I leave my comfort zone (Home) for few days?
So at that time I take a deep breath and asked myself that, you should have to take a Quantum leap for making memories and creating footprints. Because Travelling is an uncontrollable erg within you. And I said Yes without any second thought. Then we had a conversation about the trip:
Me: where are we going?
Jitu: To my sister's home at daman for few days.
Me: It's not comfortable for me!
Jitu: You know me nah...so she is also like your sister too.
Me: I agreed totally. But it's not like that...its like I don't know her. Maybe I got new job opportunities meanwhile.
Jitu: Don't give me minor excuses. If you are in then tell me otherwise I am going alone.
Me: Ok then YES I am in and we are going.
And hence after that, we booked 2 train sleeper tickets to and fro from Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan to Vapi, Daman. Both of us are eagerly waiting for our first trip together. But after 10-15 days I got a job offer and I got it. So I put the condition of the Daman trip in front of the company and they agreed. And after a couple of days, we started our journey.
Finally yeah... we are going to Daman. The train crossed the whole Gujrat and reached Vapi in 15-16 hours. It's the nature which changes from place to place (air, temperature, trees everything) and you feel good.
We took a taxi from Vapi to Daman, it hardly took 15-20 min. Because of 13 km distance approx and he charged Rs.50 only. Then we got to rest at his sister's home. She was really nice, she prepared all the delicious Rajasthani dishes for us and I felt like home at her place. Daman was really joyful with both beaches and Gujarati dishes. Daman was full of coconut trees.
The houses were in an old Indian fashion, which added an essence of the classic Indian village.
But if you thought that the whole city was made up of that kind of architecture then you are wrong. There were flats and concrete houses also and didi use to live in a flat which is sufficient for a nuclear family.
DAY 1
In the evening we pick the scooter of Jijaji and roam around to got to know about the place and explore it in our own way.
Devka beach is the main public attraction in Daman besides the Arabian Sea. We went there. The sand was really hot in summer may and the zephyr was really soothing. Whenever you first watch the sea (with wide-angle 180-degree ) in your lifetime you realize that it was really huge than your imagination and you were nothing. On the beach side, you got seafood, coconut water, and interesting bhelpuri with a twist of kaccha aam. One can also enjoy some sports like paragliding, horse riding, boating etc.
Then we roam around and enjoyed the beauty of daman and get back to home.
DAY 2
On next day, we woke up late in the morning and then we had lunch at home. In the evening we planned to go to Jetty Garden which is also a very good place to hang out with the friends. There you got the chowpatti full of Indian street foods.
One could also enjoy the hard drinks to chill out near the beach because it's a union territory and in UT's are tax-free. Then we went to Dominos had 🍕 pizza and then back to home.
DAY 3
On the 3rd day of our trip, Jijaji planned our whole day. In the morning we went to the beach and had a dip in the sea.
Then we all went to Mirasol Resort, which is not actually a resort but it was a water park with a lake for boating beside the beautiful garden.
Then in the evening, we had a close view of the cruise which is really mesmerizing and had
dinner at Jetty. While returning we visited the real lighthouse which I had only seen in the school books. It was really a great day.
DAY 4
Dadra and Nagar's haveli is around 41km far from daman and Silvassa is the capital of the UT. So yes on next day in the early morning we head via motorbikes to explore the interesting places at Dadra and Nagar haveli. There we visited Silvassa Vasona Lion Safari, where you could easily see the lions roaming around and we were in a caged bus to watch them. We also enjoyed the deer safari separately.
After that, we went to nakshatra garden which is a Hindu mythological place. In the garden, you could saw the plants of each and every nakshatra which sounds interesting. Then we visited an another garden which could also call Dadra Garden. There we had lemon water with a twist of Tulsi seeds. The garden was beautiful with green plants spread all over around with a pleasant lake at the center. But the interesting part was the swings and rides. I must say that every city should have that kind of garden. Because if you go there for an hour every day then you need not go to any gym or any meditation classes. As the rides were open for all and for every age group. Basically, the rides use your own weight to make you fit and it was really enjoyable.
So after that fun day, we all were back to home.
And on very next day we head towards our hometown via train with lots of vivid memories of daman.
Hope you all like my first trip experience. Please stay tuned for the next adventurous trip to our own pink city Jaipur...

One could also visit the old church over there but unfortunately, we can't make it just because of certain fixed timing.
