the RIVER meets the SEA....
When I was little, I used to wonder how the river ends or where does it stop!! My mother had told me that rivers meet the sea at their termination and eventually lose their identity. I had accepted it without seeing it actually, until now..20 years later!! The reason for choosing Mandarmani over other beach destinations was this very reason! I actually got the chance to see the river Champa meet the Bay of Bengal!!
This junction, delta as it is called is very rich in flora and fauna. The famous Red Crabs are also found in this very area. Maybe they require a mixture of freshwater as well as salty water!! Those crabs are very sensitive..they can feel the vibrations of feet from metres away! The moment you take one step closer, thinking the zoom shot from here would be better, they slip into their burrows even before you blink!! At one moment the whole stretch of land is red and the very other moment its vacant!! Such incredible is the creation of God. The more you explore, the more you fall in love with His every masterpiece!!
Estuary or "mohana" as its said in the local language, was quite far from the beach on which we were staying. So we woke up very early in the morning and left the hotel without any breakfast. Who said vacationing meant late mornings and lavish food spreads?? :D Not possible if you are a true traveller :D
We took a motorised rickshaw, as it is the only mode of transport there. Also mandarmani is the longest motorable beach in India.The bumpy ride along the sea was indeed an affair to cherish...

ReplyDeleteOne of the best things about blogging - and connecting with other bloggers - is learning about different parts of the world through first-hand experience. I always enjoy reading fashion bloggers' talk about everyday stuff about their part(s) of the world. I enjoyed your story about the river. Feels warm.
