Silvassa
Spend a half‑day in Silvassa: visit the Children's Park, Tribal Cultural Museum and a local market, then head back.
Silvassa is a small industrial town on the Gujarat‑Maharashtra border. Its main attractions are a handful of parks, a tribal museum and a lively market. All sights cluster near the centre, so a half‑day visit is enough unless you want a relaxed stay at a riverside resort.
