Daman is a city and a part of the Indian Union Territory of Daman and Diu. It was discovered by Vasco de Gama, in the year 1498, and was a Portuguese colony. Daman is one of the most popular tourist destinations. This is because of its relatively unknown beaches and the freedom to drink liquor. It is also very well connected by means of a National Highway (NH8).
Daman, however, has a very heavy rainy season, and hence the best time to visit is between October and May. The summers are slightly dry and humid, but the nights are much cooler. The average temperature is 30⁰C so it is advisable to get an air-conditioned room. During the months of October to May, Daman hotels will be packed, so plan and book in advance.
Being a popular destination, the rooms in Daman start at around Rs 2,500 for a deluxe room and can go up to Rs 4,000 for an air-conditioned room. However, most of these hotels are situated near the beach, and offer lovely views of the sea.
