Geography & terrain
Satmalia lies in the Silvassa district of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, 180 km from Mumbai and 20 km from Silvassa — the river picnic spot of the region, its Sakshara park, the Satmalia river and the forest set on the union territory's green.
History & culture
The site's story runs with the 1990s tourism era — the river picnic spot of the Satmalia river and the 1990s-era park life, with the site's modern role as the nature stop of the Silvassa circuit and the home of the Sakshara park and the river decks and the 2000s-era boating; the site's history of the 2005-era eco-tourism and the forest walks, gives Satmalia its river character.
