Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway at Rangat Andaman Islands

– A Hidden Gem in Middle Andaman

Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway offers a thoughtfully designed, immersive experience through one of Andaman’s most ecologically rich and tranquil landscapes—where mangrove forests meet the shoreline in seamless harmony.Unlike the bustling beaches and tourist hubs, this spot is a quiet celebration of Andaman’s lesser-known natural wonders. With its wooden boardwalk meandering gracefully through dense mangrove forests, Dhani Nallah blends scenic tranquility with subtle adventure—making it a dream location for nature lovers, photographers, and seekers of solitude.

What sets this place apart is its unique structure: a nearly 700-meter-long elevated wooden pathway that allows visitors to walk right above thriving mangrove ecosystems. As you wander along the shaded trail, sunlight filtering through tangled branches, you’ll find yourself immersed in a raw, untouched atmosphere. The walkway not only preserves the natural habitat but also offers a sustainable way to experience the ecological richness of the region up close—without disturbing its fragile balance.

Dhani Nallah is more than just a walk in the woods. It leads to a serene beach at the end, where the forest gives way to an open shore lined with driftwood and coconut trees. This final stretch of calm sand is ideal for moments of reflection, birdwatching, or simply soaking in the views of a coastline few tourists ever reach. Keep an eye out for the region’s famous Olive Ridley turtles that nest here during the season—a quiet reminder of how nature continues to thrive when given space and respect.
