Dahanu's fertile sandy soil and coastal climate have made it Maharashtra’s chikoo capital. With over 5,000 hectares of plantations, the fruit has become a symbol of local pride. What began as agricultural excellence gave rise to an annual agro-tourism celebration supported by MTDC and local communities.
Immerse yourself in the heart of Dahanu’s heritage with Warli painting demos, tribal dance performances, and soul-stirring music. Every performance tells a story, preserving the tribal culture that thrives in the region.
Don’t miss the mouth-watering treats like chikoo milkshakes, ice creams, jams, and halwas. The organic stalls offer unique products from local kitchens — pure, handmade, and packed with flavor!
It’s not just about the fruit! Families can enjoy ATV rides, bullock cart tours, and beach games. Kids and adults alike find joy in these earthy experiences, perfect for creating lasting memories.
Get your hands dirty (in the best way) with guided farm tours. Learn about chikoo harvesting, sustainable farming methods, and how Dahanu’s farmers are championing climate-conscious agriculture.
