Dahanu Bordi Beach
DAHANU BORDI BEACH
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 : Dahanu
Road is the nearest railhead, which is just 2 ½ hours from Mumbai. By
road Mumbai is 145 kms. away.
