The estuary of the Madu Ganga River is a complex coastal ecosystem of mangroves and islands. A boat trip is a wonderful way of seeing some of the hundreds of species of plants and animals – monkeys eat fruit in the trees, a water monitor lizard glides slowly through the water, and cormorants, crocodile’s egrets and kingfishers wait patiently on the banks, eyeing the water for prey. There are around 64 islands in the river and lagoon. At this voyage, on the river itself, there is a certain pond of millions of fishes which is created by some village guys to enthrall you with fish massage therapy. Sounds great and you really must have to take a massage from fishes there at the pond and we guarantee you will be fully enjoyed the treatment. You can visit an island with a Buddhist monastery, where the monks will show you a 150-year-old book made of palm leaves and how they cook on cinnamon wood on an open fire. The boat ride among the trees that cut you down will be a new experience for you
