Vandhara Udyan, Silvassa, Dadra & Nagar Haveli India

Just a few kilometers away from Silvassa the Vanganga Lake and Island Garden is a spectacular lake garden. It has a garden on an island which is quite a beautiful sight. Wooden bridges and pretty flowers add too its beauty. For those of you who are keen on fitness can jog along the jogging path laid out here while breathing in the fresh air. There are thatched huts along the garden and paddleboats on the lake. The main attraction here is boating and you can find many people on the paddle boats enjoying the calm waters of the lake. The park which is closed on Tuesdays has its share of couples snuggling in corners as well as families with children frolicking around. There is also the occasional film shooting which takes place here so there is a chance that you might spot a celebrity doing a Bollywood song and dance sequence. There are food joints in the garden so if you get hungry you can grab a bite from here.

There is also the Vandhara Udyan, which is a riverside park and is similar to the Vanganga Lake and Island Garden. It has sprawling and stunning lawns dotted with lovely porches. There are also quaint little pavilions which provide shelter to those who visit the park. It is an ideal spot for picnickers.
