Mangrove Forest, Havelock
Havelock's mangrove creek is a stunning example of the lush, evergreen island mangroves with a rich biodiverse ecosystem found in India. The unique feature of this mangrove is its natural waterways, which wind through brackish waters and swamps. The canopies are at a height of 5 to 10 feet and with a width of 20 to 30 feet, the natural waterways are spacious enough to accommodate small boats and kayaks, even during high tide. As you navigate through the mangrove creek, you'll witness the eerie beauty of the roots spreading unevenly, creating a mesmerising, tangled web of nature.
