About the Destination
You’ll be surprised to know that the Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway is the longest walkway and is one of its kind in India. Covering a distance of 713 metres, this wooden boardwalk trudges through the lush green, dense mangrove forests.
Located on the outskirts of Rangat, this walkway is your welcome escape into the arms of nature. As you tread through the twists and turns of the Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway, enjoy the breath-taking beauty of the mangrove ecosystem.
The Dhani Nallah beach is also famous as a turtle nesting spot. The Olive ridley species of sea turtles are the most common here. There is a small eco-friendly hut situated on the mangrove walkway named Olive ridley after the turtle species. The name Dhani Nallah comes from a mangrove variety which is called ‘Dhanipatti’ by the local people.
Inaugurated in the month of December 2012, the mangrove walkway is a must-visit destination in almost every Andaman Holidays Package.
Reaching the Mangrove Walkway
As mentioned earlier, the Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway is situated on the outskirts of Rangat. The entry to the walkway is about 20 km away from Rangat at a village called Betapur. To reach your destination, book a private cab. You can contact any Andaman Transport Operator for the same.
Ideal Time to Visit
Being famous for turtle nesting, tourists mainly come here to watch the sight of nesting turtles along with the beauty of mangroves. The best time to visit the mangrove walkaway is between the months of December to February.
The Dhani Nallah Beach
The end of the walkway opens into the Dhani Nallah beach. Famed for being the most beautiful beach in middle Andaman, the Dhani Nallah beach is a perfect place for enjoying the scenic beauty and calmness. Soft, brownish sands coupled with clear blue waters – a scene to behold.
One of the best reasons to visit the beach is the absence of strong currents. Thus you can swim with great ease here at this beach. A perfect place for a picnic, the Casuarina trees along the beach provide the perfect shade. On top of that, the natural sitting spots, changing rooms and washrooms on the beach make it a destination worth travelling to.
