Rangat is a small town in Middle Andaman and a natural halfway stop on the road between Baratang and the north. Its draw is nature rather than sightseeing: the Dhaninallah mangrove walkway runs through dense mangroves to a long, empty beach, and Amkunj Beach is a calm eco-park by the sea. It suits travellers breaking the long drive up the islands.
Notable places
Amkunj Beach
4.560What guests love
- Calm, peaceful and uncrowded shoreline
- Sunset and sunrise views
- Tree-house tower with a high view
- Sweet, cheap coconut water from the kiosks
- Colourful pebbles and live shore creatures
Worth knowing
- Closed / restricted: Swimming isn't possible here because of rocks, dead coral and shallow water; it suits those who simply want to enjoy the scenery.
- Best time: Sunset and sunrise bring the best light here, and the beach stays quiet through the day.
- Getting there: It sits just off the main road about 8 km from Rangat, as an easy stop on the way to Diglipur.
- Rules: Signs warn of crocodiles in the area, so staying out of the water and keeping children close is the safe way to enjoy the shore.
- Condition: The sand is dark and the shore rocky rather than white and powdery; the calm, quiet setting is the appeal.
- Condition: Some guests notice a little litter in places, though many describe the beach as clean overall.
- Facilities: Restrooms and changing rooms are available, though some guests find the toilets basic.
- Facilities: A few kiosks sell coconut water, tea and coffee, with coconuts often cheaper than in Port Blair.
Dhaninallah Mangrove Walkway
3.826Winding through dense mangrove forest near Rangat in the Andaman Islands, a long wooden walkway lets you explore the greenery on foot. Visitors value the peaceful, well-kept setting, and the nearby beach is good for a relaxed break.
What guests love
- 720m wooden walkway through dense mangroves
- Peaceful, often almost empty
- Long beach beside the walkway
- Crystal-clear water and night-time glowing dinoflagellates
- Great for nature photography
Worth knowing
- Crowds: It is often very quiet, which many guests love; holidays and weekends bring a little more company.
- Best time: After dark, the water can show glowing dinoflagellates, which guests often call unforgettable.
- On foot: The mangrove walkway runs about 720m on a built wooden platform, an easy, flat stroll for most visitors.
- Take care: Saltwater crocodiles live in the nallah, so keeping to the walkway and staying out of the water keeps the visit safe.
