Dahanu Bordi - A Twin Tropical Utopia

The laid-back coastal town of Dahanu allures travellers with its pristine beaches, archiac forts, chikoo orchards & sumptous Maharashtrian cuisine. What are you waiting for?

By Swathi

Dahanu Bordi beaches are a pretty famous beach set that is located 145 km from Mumbai in Thane district of Maharashtra. They are two contiguous beaches that are at a distance of 15 km from each other. It is spread over a distance of 16 km and is a perfect spot for a quiet weekend retreat.

The drive from one beach to the other is a scenic one, with a lot of old buildings and bungalows, beautiful beach, brilliant sky and chirping birds for company. The unique feature of the beaches is that though it is connected to the Thane town, one can feel like it is nestled away from the madness of the city life.

This place is a reflection of the Irani and Parsi culture, who are believed to be the early habitants here.

Winter is deemed the best season to visit Dahanu Bordi as it has crisp air. Summers can get pretty hot and humid, which does not grant full fun on the beach. Monsoons also attract a lot of visitors as it is a magical experience to see the beach in rain.
