Pichavaram | India's 2nd largest Mangrove Forest | VR Boat Tour
Pichavaram is located off the tourist trail but is totally worth the effort. One can be enchanted by the complex river system, and canal network, that bind this beautiful place together, and support the rich biodiversity of the place.
Apart from Sundarbans, Pichavaram is the only other Mangrove Forest in the country. One can experience the fragile ecosystem of these forests, and understand the importance these Mangrove forests, hold the people of Pichavaram.
Mangroves are woody plants and shrub that inhabit the upper intertidal zones of saltwater areas, primarily in tropical and subtropical coastal regions within 30° of the equator and form low diversity forests with complex food webs and unique ecosystem dynamics.
Pichavaram is a village near Chidambaram in Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, India. It is located between the Vellar estuary in the north and Coleroon estuary in the south. The Vellar-Coleroon estuarine complex forms the Killai backwater and the mangroves that are permanently rooted in a few feet of water. It is located at the distance of 243 km from Chennai and 15 km from Chidambaram.
Pichavaram can be enjoyed through a boat ride around the 1100-hectare area of the forest, which takes you through narrow canal, breathtaking sceneries and allows you to witness the amazing life forms of the Mangrove tress while adoring the bird life of the forest.
