Explore Mangrove Forests In Tamil Nadu At Pichavaram

In the southern region of India lies a natural wonder that can only be compared to the renowned Sundarbans. Situated between two prominent estuaries - the Vellar Estuary in the north and the Coleroon Estuary in the South - the Pichavaram mangrove forest forms part of the larger Vellar-Coleroon estuarine complex in Tamil Nadu. This complex creates the Killai backwater and Pichavaram mangroves, a network of interconnected waterways that offer abundant water-based activities, including rowing, kayaking, and canoeing. What sets Pichavaram apart is the unique mangrove trees firmly rooted in just a few feet of water. With over 400 water routes available for boating, visitors are spoiled for choice.
