Pichavaram is an area of around 3000 acres full of mangroves.
.
These are rare kind of ecosystem, where plants grow in the inter-tidal zone.
You enjoy these watery trees from a boat with the boatman acting as
your guide. He will reel out stories, escapades, cinema shootings and
also amazingly some of the botanical names of the birds, flora and fauna.
If you are lucky, you may see some water snakes or fox cubs.
Some of the mangroves are dense and and you have to bend, crawl

Totally you take them as a unique experience where you would
have discovered yet another nature's dimension.
