Khanvel
Khanvel works as a regional base for exploring the greener interior of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, with Satmalia on the approach and Dudhani offering a separate reservoir-side excursion. These stops create a nature-focused route, but they are not all within the same village. Decide whether wildlife habitat or water-side scenery is the day’s priority.
Discover Khanvel
The appeal is a slower journey through the regional landscape rather than a guarantee of animal sightings or recreational facilities. Satmalia should be visited through its authorised arrangements, while Dudhani can be appreciated for its reservoir setting without assuming that a boat activity is available.
Places to explore
Satmalia Deer Sanctuary
Located on the way towards Khanvel, the sanctuary provides a protected wildlife setting associated with deer, antelope and birdlife.
Dudhani reservoir setting
Dudhani lies beside the Daman Ganga reservoir and offers a separate water-side landscape excursion within the wider region.
Suggested sightseeing plan
Use this as a starting point. Adjust the sequence to your interests, access arrangements and local conditions.
- Begin with Satmalia if authorised visitor access is confirmed, then continue towards Khanvel at a pace suited to the group.
- Choose Dudhani as a separate principal extension when time allows, or keep the day focused on the Khanvel-side landscape and return comfortably.
Planning your visit
- Check sanctuary visitor arrangements before departure, and observe animals quietly without feeding them or seeking access beyond permitted areas.
- Treat Dudhani as an additional regional drive, leaving enough time for the return rather than adding it after a full sanctuary visit.
- Any proposed reservoir boat outing needs its own confirmed operator and safety arrangements; a road transfer does not include water access.
