Dahanu Bordi
Dahanu,
a quite seaside town with a sprawling, uncluttered beach, is situated in Thane
district.
The Dahanu-Bordi stretch is 17 kms. This once-barren land thrived under Irani
settlers, an earthy people.
Dahanu is lined with fruit orchards and is famous for its chickoos.
Accessible from Dahanu is Udwada - the 'Mecca of the Zoroastrians' - with a
large, beautiful temple which houses their sacred fire.
An amazing fact, but true : this fire has been kept alive for almost a thousand
years.
Getting there :
