About Dadra & Nagar Haveli

The Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli is situated on the western coast of India between the parallels of 20° and 20°25′ of latitude north and between the meridian 72°50′ and 73°15′ of longitude. The territory is surrounded on the west, north and east by Valsad district of Gujarat and in the south, and south east by Thana and Nasik districts of Maharashtra.

The district has a hilly terrain specially towards the north-east where it is surrounded by the ranges of Sahyadri mountains (western ghats). The central region of the land is almost plain and the soil is rich and fertile.

The terrain is intersected by the river Daman-Ganga and its three tributaries. The river rises in the ghat 64km from the coast and discharges itself in the Arabian Sea at the port of Daman.
