There are more than 400 water routes available for boating. 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. very rare species, second largest Mangrove forest in the world, I visited this place three times when I took an three days leave and I wasn’t able to completely cover that day as I really many arrangements for the meetup before many things.
