Seaside strolls & hilltop views

Day 1
Dhani Nallah is a nature walkway and beach on the outskirts of Rangat, Middle Andaman Island, in the Andaman Islands. It is a 700 m wooden boardwalk through Mangroves.
  • Peaceful strolls and scenic seashores

  • Highlights

    Karmatang Beach, Dhani Nallah Mangrove Nature Walkway, Panchvati Hills, Amkunj Beach

Reach Rangat and prepare for beachfront odysseys when you head over to Karmatang Beach. Find azure waves lapping at the seashore, dip your toes in the clear water, walk around the muddy shore, and bask in the beauty of rhythmic tides when you walk barefoot along the powder and sandy shore.

Head over to Dhani Nallah Mangrove Nature Walkway next and have a light lunch in between from local restaurants dominating at seafood of your choice. The enchanting trail seems to never end at this Mangrove Walkway. Click photos and marvel at the intricacies of avian life when you see rare species of unheard birds around. Their symphonies can serenade your senses to extend the journey, as an escape from city life.

Have rich-flavoured snacks, or shop around at the local Bazaars before beginning the next half of the escapade. When you visit the Panchvati Hills, the view from the top is mesmerising and breathtaking. Lush landscapes and terrains expand across acres of land, while the wind turns breezy, and the atmosphere can become a little more exciting for travellers to hop onto another beach before they retire for the day.

When you arrive around mid-evening at Amkung Beach, expect the wind to settle down. Stroll around a bit and get into the mood to explore the quiet beach further on. This beach is one of the hidden gems, untouched at most of the parts of its shore by curious and professional travellers. Its serene importance still lingers on with the quieter coast loved and favoured by solo travellers most of the time. Let the sun, set and revel in this iconic moment at the seashore.
