About Daman

In addition to being a city, Daman serves as the administrative centre of the Indian regions of Dadra, Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu. It is a municipal council located in the union territory’s Daman district.

Daman is divided into Nani-Daman and Moti-Daman by the Daman Ganga River. The historic city is mostly located in Moti-Daman, but Nani-Daman is the larger of the two areas, despite its name. The majority of significant organisations, including major supermarkets, hospitals, and residential districts, are located here. Daman is closest to the Gujarati city of Vapi. A sizable portion of the Khandeshi community moved to Daman in search of employment.

History  

Sailing towards Ormuz in 1523, Portuguese Captain-Major Diogo de Melo happened to land on the Daman beach by accident. His boat was driven towards the Daman coast by a strong storm that he was caught in. It was taken over as a Portuguese colony shortly after, lasting more than 400 years. In order to protect against the Mughals, who governed the region until the Portuguese arrived, a larger fort was constructed in Moti Daman in the sixteenth century. The majority of it is still in its original form as it stands now. Nowadays, the fort houses the majority of the municipal government’s offices.

Climate

Daman’s climate is a tropical savanna with two distinct seasons: the hot, humid, and severely wet monsoon season, which lasts from June to September, and the lengthy, sunny dry season, which lasts from October to May. The dry season sees very little rain. This is by far the most agreeable time of year due to the cooler mornings and decreased humidity, especially until the middle of March. Despite being brief, the monsoon season is incredibly wet. It is quite humid, and it rains a lot every afternoon, making travel challenging and uncomfortable.

Goa's scenery, beaches, and cathedrals are truly stunning and well worth the hype. Conversely, Devka and Jampore, Daman's top two beaches according to every itinerary, aren't even worth a glance. We made the decision to explore Jampore Beach and the Moti Daman Fort when we arrived at the location at lunchtime.
