Hirwa Van Garden

Hirwa Van Garden in Silvassa (celebrated across western India as Dadra and Nagar Haveli's most popular green urban forest park and tranquil family leisure oasis, named in tribute to tribal forest spirits where 'Hirwa' translates to 'Greenery' and 'Van' means 'Forest', world famous for its cascading stone water fountains, multi tiered manmade waterfalls, manicured carpet lawns, and shaded floral walkways), located along the Silvassa Vapi road in Silvassa in Dadar and Nagar Haveli, stands as the union territory's premier public garden and family picnic park.

Conceived by the administration's landscape architects as a harmonious blend of natural Western Ghats forest vegetation and Japanese garden aesthetic design, this multi hectare green parkland provides city residents and tourists with a refreshing botanical sanctuary right on the outskirts of Silvassa.

It's the home of the dramatic cascading artificial stone waterfalls tumbling into pebble lined lotus ponds, the winding paved walking paths bordered by colorful seasonal flowerbeds, bougainvillea arches, and towering teak, gulmohar, and bamboo groves, the dedicated children's amusement zone equipped with swings, slides, jungle gyms, and open green lawns for family badminton, the shaded twin gazebos and rustic stone benches providing quiet spots for reading and picnics, the bustling evening snack kiosks serving roasted sweet corn, chaat, ice creams, and hot tea outside the gates, and an intensely peaceful, breezy garden atmosphere where the soothing sound of falling water blends with chirping songbirds and forest breezes.

It represents a rich public urban landscaping triumph, botanical conservation, and family leisure tourism where cascading waterfalls, flowerbeds, shady gazebos, and green forest lawns unite in Hirwa Van Garden Silvassa.

Located on the main Silvassa Vapi highway near Piparia, it sits just 3 km north of Silvassa town center, 2 km from Tribal Cultural Museum, 3 km from Church of Our Lady of Piety, 14 km from Vapi Railway Station, and 165 km from Mumbai, easily accessible by auto rickshaw, city bus, or private vehicle.

Cascading Stone Waterfalls & Japanese Design

The centerpiece of Hirwa Van is a large stepped rock waterfall where clean recirculated water cascades over rough hewn boulders into a quiet lily pond.

Carefully positioned stone bridges, timber railings, and bonsai planters reflect tasteful Zen inspired horticultural design principles.

Truth is, listening to the gentle rush of cascading water while resting beneath flowering canopy trees provides deep mental relaxation.
