Daman is situated on the peppery sands of the Daman-Ganga river which flows softly into the Arabian Sea a few leagues away. A melting pot where races and cultures met and mixed to bring forth a multi-coloured identity and a Portuguese enclave for four and a half centuries till the end of colonial rule in 1961, Daman is a picturesque port town with a temperate climate round the year, an ideal getaway for all seasons.
