What are the lesser known tourist destinations in South India?

 Pichavaram Mangrove Forest!

Most of us know that the world's biggest mangrove forest is Sundarbans spread in West Bengal and Bangladesh.

But majority doesn't know that the second largest mangrove forests is also in India. It's the Pichavaram mangrove forest in Tamil Nadu.

The forest is spread about 1100 acres and there are more than 400 routes for boating. The forest is known for its richness in biodiversity. It houses some endangered species of plants and birds.

Snakes could surprise you during your boat ride. As you go inside the forest, it would get denser and you could feel the thrill and the adventure.

This place has not become a commercial tourist destination yet. I wish this place remain underrated and unknown to the humans of the world. Let this place remain free from us!
