One of the adventurous things to do while you are on Havelock island (Swaraj Island) is this trek through dense Tropical evergreen forest.
Elephant beach, one of the major beaches on Havelock, is located on the west side of the island.
A usual way to get there is by taking a boat ride from the island jetty. But as an alternative, you can consider this trek. It takes approx. 1 hour, depending upon the weather + terrain conditions.
It starts by making an offroad cut from the main road going towards Radhanagar beach.
You will come across different species of plants, shrubs and trees during the trek. Some also have name tags on them. One can even spot interesting insects, if you are lucky. As you near the Elephant beach, you have to cross a mangrove swamp, which is another rare experience in itself.
1. Try to carry as less items as possible with you. Carry snack and water, keep your both hands free.
2. Avoid falling in trap of the locals portraying themselves as 'guides' when you start the trek. They will try to misguide and mislead you by making stories about the path in the forest.
3. Don't go alone. Having a company will be safer and more fun.
4. Wear sandals, or slippers, as the terrain would be muddy and slippery. You might have to take them off.

If you take this trek, please leave it better than you found it.
