This is India's longest walkway. It is located 20 kilometres from the mainland of Rangat, next to the Andaman trunk road. Dhani Nallah gets its name from a local mangrove called Dhanipatti. The walkway winds its way through the woodland until it reaches the open sea and a soft beach. The pathway is carved out of wood and stands on a pedestal. The shallow waters provide breeding places for fish and other marine life, resulting in a diverse bird population and a diverse marine life including crabs, shrimp, and fish.Crocodiles have been sighted in this area as well.
