Silvassa, The Silvery Capital
Once under the rule of Portuguese, Silvassa acquires its name from the Portuguese word 'Silva' meaning 'woods'. As you travel through extremely quiet windy streets of this tiny Silvassa, you will understand that Portuguese were not wrong in naming their favourite city, whose reminiscence is still alive in the Our Lady of Piety Church. Tourists coming to Silvassa make it a point to make a visit to the Lion Safari Park, which is among the few places in India where you will find lions roaming around. Spine chilling! Isn't it?
Vandhara Udyan and Pipariya Udyan are the two excellent gardens holding the nature with sprawling lawns, gushing waterfalls and little islands make an ultimate destination for the people wanting to be lost in the nature. The tribal cultural museum situated in Silvassa peeps into the tribal lifestyle housing the masks, fishing gadgets, life-size statues and musical apparatus.

Nice post about Silvassa. Abode to numerous gardens, this city also offers the titillation of Lion safaris and deer parks. The city abounds with Portuguese heritage and also has a Roman Catholic Church depicting the architectural designs of the same period. Check out all best hotels in Silvassa also.
