Geography & terrain

Dudhni lies in the Silvassa district of Dadra & Nagar Haveli, 20 km from Silvassa — a reservoir lake of the green territory, its boating and the surrounding hills set on the Damanganga's catchment country near the Maharashtra border.

History & culture

The lake was formed by the damming of the region's waters, and the area's modern story is the territory's nature tourism — the boating, the lakeside gardens and the water-sports of the recent development giving Dudhni its family-lake character within the Silvassa circuit.
