Rangat Island

Rangat Island

Rangat Island is a quiet treasure in the middle Andamans, where winding creeks, soft beaches, and gentle waterfalls await. From mangrove tunnels to sandy bays, each spot offers a new way to feel the island’s calm beauty. Let’s explore Rangat’s top places in simple words and see why Aqua Echo Tours thinks it’s a peaceful paradise!

Welcome to Rangat Island

Rangat lies between Port Blair and Diglipur, reached by a scenic drive through rolling hills and sleepy villages. You’ll notice:

  • Thick coconut groves swaying in the breeze, with tall trunks that seem to touch the sky.
  • Patches of green paddy fields where farmers plant rice by hand and water buffalo graze nearby.
  • Colorful wooden houses painted bright yellow, blue, or green, each with a small porch to sit and watch island life go by.
  • Birds calling from the treetops at dawn, while fishermen push their boats into calm rivers to catch fish for the morning market.

Here, life moves at island pace—slow, friendly, and full of nature’s soft whispers.

Mangrove & Creek Explorations

Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway

Walk Among the Roots

Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway

The Dhani Nallah Mangrove Walkway is a boardwalk raised above twisting mangrove roots and still waters. As you stroll its wooden planks:

  • Look down to see bright fiddler crabs waving their single large claw, and tiny mudskippers darting between roots.
  • Hear the gentle rustle of mangrove leaves and the occasional click of a kingfisher snapping its beak at a passing fish.
  • Feel the fresh, salty breeze and dappled sunlight that filters through the dense green canopy above you.
  • Read small signboards that explain how mangroves protect the coast and give home to many animals.

This gentle walk brings you face-to-face with Rangat’s hidden forest world and teaches you why mangroves matter.

Yeratta Creek

Silent River Ride

Yeratta Creek

A short boat ride takes you into the heart of Yeratta Creek, where the world falls silent except for water lapping at your boat. Here you can:

  • Glide under low-hanging branches so close you can touch the cool leaves and feel the shadows dance on the water.
  • Spot herons and egrets standing like statues on muddy banks, ready to strike at fish with lightning speed.
  • Watch tiny mud islands that shift with the tide, each home to crabs and snails making delicate tracks in the soft earth.
  • Pause in the middle of the creek and listen to only the call of a distant crow or the drip of water from leaves above.

It’s a peaceful journey through nature’s quiet corridor, giving you time to breathe and simply be.

Panchavati Waterfalls
Hidden Forest Cascades

Panchavati Waterfalls

A short, leafy trail leads you to Panchavati Waterfalls, a series of small cascades dropping into clear pools. Here you can:

  • Feel the cool mist on your face as water tumbles over smooth stones into a deep, emerald pool.
  • Sit on moss-covered rocks and listen to the steady drum of falling water mixed with bird calls.
  • Dip your feet or wade in the shallow edges, letting the fresh water chase away island heat.
  • Pack a simple picnic to enjoy on flat stones beside the stream, surrounded by ferns and orchids.

Panchavati is a quiet refuge where the forest cools your spirit and offers a fresh breath of wild beauty.
