Unravelling the marvels
Named after the indigenous mangrove species locally known as Dhanipatti, Dhani Nallah Mangrove Nature Walkway stands as the longest boardwalk of its kind in India. Located approximately 20 kilometres from Rangat mainland, adjacent to the Andaman Trunk Road, this enchanting pathway provides a rare opportunity to immerse oneself in the beauty of mangroves.
While walking through the wooden walkway, flanked by mangrove linings on either side, you are greeted by awesome sights of natural wonders. This place is home to a variety of wild animals and birds. From intricate mangrove roots to hidden corners harbouring different kinds of species, every step unveils a new facet of this thriving ecosystem.
A haven for sea turtles and nature lovers
At the culmination of the walk lies the pristine Dhani Nallah Beach, renowned as a seasonal nesting ground for Olive Ridley Sea Turtles. From November to February, these majestic creatures grace the shores, laying their eggs in the soft sands. For those fortunate enough to witness this spectacle, it is a moment of awe and wonder, a glimpse into the delicate balance of nature's cycles.
But Dhani Nallah Mangrove Nature Walkway offers more than just a glimpse of wildlife; it offers an opportunity for introspection and connection with the natural world. Many visitors attest to returning from the walk with a newfound appreciation for nature and its inhabitants. The serene ambience, punctuated by the rustle of mangrove leaves and the lapping of waves against the shore, fosters a sense of peace and harmony.
