Pazhaverkadu | Pulicat lake part - 1 | Wonderful place to visit near Chennai | Planet Wander
Pulicat Lagoon is considered to be the second largest brackish water body in India. It is a shallow salt water lagoon which stretches about 60 kilometers (37 mi) along the coast.
We Planet Wander team planned to Pulicat Lake and almost 1 month of planning we finally visited Pulicat lake. It is really an amazing place to spend time as a gang, especially if you are a troop of bachelors.
Every year between the months of October and March, thousands of migratory birds land here. Though many species can be seen, the Flamingos are the most visible, covering the swamps surrounding the lake, giving it a pink tinge.
The important location in Pulicat is the island between the lake and the sea. A perfect place to enjoy. The famous Tamil movie Citizen has been shooted here.

Pichavaram Trip Details | History | Mythology | Travel With Soudip
Pichavaram mangrove forest, despite it being the world's 2nd largest mangrove jungles (along with the Sundarbans National Park in West Bengal). After all, it's not on the tourist trail. However, this remarkable and fascinating place is definitely worth visiting.The mangrove forest at Pichavaram is spread over 1,100 hectares and joins the Bay of Bengal, where it's separated by a lengthy sand bank. Apparently, the forest has more than 50 islands of various sizes, and 4,400 big and small canals.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Itinerari
Pichavaram is located about 30 minutes drive from the temple town of Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu. It's a picturesque route past paddy fields, villages with colorfully painted houses, traditional style huts with thatched roofs, and women selling fish by the roadside. A taxi will cost approximately 800 rupees for a return trip and is the most convenient way of getting there. Alternatively, local buses run hourly between Chidambaram and Pichavaram, with tickets costing about 30 rupees.
Chidambaram can easily be reached by train in under four hours from Chennai. The nearest airports are in Tiruchirapalli (three hours southeast of Chidambaram) and Pondicherry (two hours north of Chidambaram). Pichavaram is a convenient day trip from Pondicherry.
How to See It
The mangrove forest can be explored by row boat or motor boat.
Motor boats are ideal for sizable groups, and you'll be able to go all the way to the beach through the mangroves in a couple of hours. However, these boats are too big to fit inside the narrow canals. If you're interested in venturing deep inside the jungle, you'll need to take a row boat. It's well worth it.
Boats operate from around 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. It gets very hot in the middle of the day though, so it's recommended that you go early in the morning or late afternoon. Boating is strictly regulated. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation and Tamil Nadu Forest Department conduct official boating activities but local non-government boatmen are also available. Various packages are offered with costs based on boat type, number of people, distance, and attractions covered. You can expect to pay about 1,700 rupees per hour for a motor boat, and 300 rupees upwards for a row boat to go inside the mangrove jungle.
Do be aware that the boat operators all ask for more money for trips inside the small canals and to spots where movies were shot. You'll need to negotiate with them directly. How much you pay will depend on how much you want to see.
When to Go
November to February is the best time, particularly for bird watching. For a peaceful experience, avoid weekends and public holidays as it does get busy then. Also avoid visiting during the scorching summer months, in April and May, as the high humidity is extremely uncomfortable.
Where to Stay
Options for accommodations in the area are limited. Pichavaram Adventure Resort, in Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation's Arignar Anna Tourist Complex, is your best bet. There's a dormitory, as well as rooms and cottages. However, since there's no competition in the area, amenities are poor. There are better budget places to stay in Chidambaram. Try the Vandayar Hotel or Nataraja Residency. Though its a half day trip.
