By that time, we crossed Sasan Gir and Talala and were driving through the woods \u2013 probably an extension of the Gir forest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From a distance, I noticed that some animals were crossing the road and accordingly put the brake. Reaching nearby, we realized that those were Chital deer. There was more than a dozen of Chital deer on both side of the road and some were going from one side to another. So, we stopped our vehicle there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I got down from the vehicle and had a smoke. All of a sudden, one of the deer started barking and for the first time in my life, I heard the voice of the deer. But that also alerted me. Why was the deer barking? Was there a ferocious animal nearby?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I finished my smoke quickly and got into the vehicle.

The check-in happened smoothly albeit after fulfilling Covid-19 related formalities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After taking a rest for an hour or so, we decided to go out. We came down to the reception and enquired about the places where we can go in the evening. The reception people recommended Nagoa beach. They also said that there would be multiple dinner options at Nagoa beach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By the time we started for Nagoa beach, the moon had risen in the eastern sky. There brightly painted buildings at the other side of the road, getting illuminated by electric light and getting washed by moonlight, were looking stunningly beautiful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-9.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34266 size-full\" title=\"diu island\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-9.jpg\" alt=\"diu island\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-9.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-9-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-9-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-9-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-9-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nagoa_Beach\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nagoa Beach<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The roads of Diu are fantastic. It took around 15 minutes to reach Nagoa beach. Nagoa beach is the only beach of Diu which has been commercially developed. A vehicular road runs parallel to the beach and there are many stalls on both sides of the road. There are places for parking vehicles. During day time, several water sports take place at this beach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We did not enter any stall and straightway headed to the east-facing beach. It was low tide then. The tides were gentle and caressing the shore lazily. Moonlight was getting reflected from the wavy seawater. At the backdrop, there were lights from other parts of Diu at a distance. It was a mesmerizing evening on the beach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-10.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34267 size-full\" title=\"Nagoa Beach\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-10.jpg\" alt=\"Nagoa Beach\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-10.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-10-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-10-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-10-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-10-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-11.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34268 size-full\" title=\"Nagoa Beach\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-11.jpg\" alt=\"Nagoa Beach\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-11.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-11-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-11-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/diu-11-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were several security guards on the beach who were ensuring that nobody went closer to the water.
