Pichavaram Mangrove Forest - A Must visit greenland in Tamil Nadu - 29 Jan 2022 - One day trip from Chennai

The Pichavaram forest not only offers waterscape and backwater cruises, but also another very rare sight] – the mangrove forest trees are permanently rooted in a few feet of water. 

Tamil Nadu Tourism: Pichavaram is one of India's rarest natural wonders, and it's one you shouldn't miss because it offers more than 400 water pathways for boating, fishing, and other leisure activities.

A haven for migratory birds such as snipes, egrets, storks and herons, the best time to visit the Pichavaram Mangrove Forest is between November to February.

 A 4 hour boat ride entitles you to spend some time at the Pichavaram beach. At the beach there isn't much to see. You can see sea water and backwaters merging (if you can walk a lot), there're a few dried up coconut trees, bushes and of course the untouched beach

Pichavaram is safe and is well maintained by TTDC.
