Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Thanks Ravi, I've already been to Daman, but lets see. Repeating it, I don't mind, especially for the beer! Kishore Shah 1974 Re: Application for leave Dear Kishore, I read from your previous message that you are going via Mumbai and then to Surat.If you are travelling on National Highway 18 ( Mumbai to Ahmedabad), then you might fancy a trip to Daman as well.I am sure that you would travel on NH18 because that is only highway to get to Surat from Mumbai. The diversion to Daman is just off NH18 , about 25 kms. I did my FRHS(Fellowship of Rural Health Service) at Ankleshwar, Gujarat. So I made many a trip to Daman. It's famous for Pomfret Fry and fresh beer , that is if you like fish. There are two beaches ; one at Nani Daman and the other at Moti Daman. These 2 places are separated by about 5 kms. One of them is not comfortable to walk on, I am not sure which one. One other option is that if you travelling from Pune to Surat(directly)then you will pass through a hill station called Saputara.It's in the Dangs district near a place called Ahwa.It is a beautiful hill station because it is not crowded and you get all the facilities. If there is any place I would stop during a long journey, it would be this one. Skoda is a sturdy car 1900cc . Driving on mountain roads will be a piece of cake. I think I should stop my suggetions now otherwise everyone will think that I am on the payroll of Gujarat Tourism Board. I have travelled to quite a few places here in UK but Daman and Saputara are one of the really treasured trips. Mera Bharat Mahaan !! Once again Kishoreda, Have a whale of a time !!!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Have a nice trip.Yes,I second Ravi's choice for Saputara and Daman.The former,b'cos of lovely PAHADI FEEL,and being border region of gujarat and Maharashtra,u get a good cuisine.The later for it's Beach and good climate. Drive carefully,and have a safe journey. We will be in India,from 22nd July for one month.Plan to visit Pune,in the first week of Aug2004,and have a darshan of UR Matruseva(?),hospital atleast,if we can't meet u all,that is. Bye. Re: Application for leave Thanks, Varsha, Mukunda. Still here, but leaving on the 22nd am. Hmmm. Many people have told me to get various things from the places that I travel. But Mukund's request to get cartoons from Rajasthan must be the strangest that I have ever received. Lets see. If the shop is open I shall get u some!
