Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway is one of the most unique and peaceful tourist attractions in the Andaman Islands. Located just a short drive from Rangat in Middle Andaman, this place offers something truly special — a long wooden path built through thick mangrove forests, ending at a clean, quiet beach. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy nature, wildlife, and scenic beauty, all in one visit.
This eco-friendly boardwalk is around 700 meters long and takes you deep into the heart of a natural mangrove forest. As you walk, you can hear birds singing, feel the cool sea breeze, and see small marine creatures moving in the shallow creek below. It’s a favorite spot for nature lovers, photographers, bird watchers, and those who enjoy quiet time in nature.
What Makes Dhani Nallah Special?
What makes Dhani Nallah stand out is its beautiful mangrove trail — one of the longest of its kind in India. The wooden walkway is raised above water, giving you an up-close look at mangroves, tidal creeks, and local wildlife. The walk itself is relaxing and gives you a chance to slow down, enjoy nature, and take beautiful photos.
At the end of the trail, you’ll reach Dhani Nallah Beach, a peaceful stretch of sand with crystal-clear water. This beach is also a nesting site for Olive Ridley sea turtles, especially from November to February. If you’re lucky, you may see turtles laying eggs or hatchlings making their way to the sea — a truly magical experience.
Dhani Nallah is located around 20 kilometers from Rangat town, along the Andaman Trunk Road (ATR). If you’re traveling from Port Blair, you can reach Rangat by bus, taxi, or government ferry. The road journey takes about 6 to 7 hours. Once you’re in Rangat, a local taxi or rented bike can take you to the entrance of the walkway. The site is clearly marked with signs, and there’s a small area to park your vehicle before starting the nature walk.
The best time to visit Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway and Beach is between October and March, when the weather in the Andaman Islands is cool, dry, and perfect for outdoor walks. This season also overlaps with the Olive Ridley turtle nesting period (November to February), which makes the visit even more special and memorable.
The official visiting hours are from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and it’s best to go early in the morning or around 3 PM for cooler weather and beautiful natural light. Avoid visiting during the monsoon season (June to September), as heavy rains can make the walkway slippery and the experience less enjoyable.
