Pondicherry to Pichavaram

We went on a bike trip from Pondicherry to Pichavaram
It was a journey of approx one hour. Pichavaram is approx 71 km far from Pondicherry.
Basically people go there  to see Mangrove Forest, you try to go there in groups to enjoy and reach around 9-10 am in the morning as in evening the beach is closed. After reaching there you have to buy a ticket either for motor boat or  manual boat. It is better to choose a motorboat as it will be faster but  costly. They take you in between the forest of Mangrove to a beautiful sea shore. It will be hot and humid there due to its climate so carry a cap/hat, water bottle & goggles. Don't miss to see the Nataraj temple in Chidambaram which is approx 16 km far from there.
Overall, it's an OK place  to hang out.
Rating- 3.5 /5
