About Andaman

The Andaman & Nicobar Islands, often simply called the Andamans, form a stunning archipelago perched in the Bay of Bengal, approximately 1,200 km east of mainland India. A haven for eco-tourism, these islands feature lush rainforests, powdery white beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and a unique tribal culture. Covering around 572 islands, islets, and rocky shoals—only about 36 are inhabited—the Andamans offer an extraordinary blend of natural beauty, adventure, and serenity.

Natural Splendor

From the moment you land in Port Blair, the capital of the Andamans, nature takes center stage. The emerald-forested interiors meet dazzling coastlines, creating a breathtaking contrast:

Beaches: Explore Radhanagar Beach on Havelock Island—voted one of Asia’s best—with its iconic “Sunset Point.” Visit Laxmanpur Beach on Neil Island for surreal tidal pools, or Elephant Beach for snorkeling in turquoise shallows.

Underwater Wonders: The islands are a scuba diver’s paradise, known for colorful coral gardens, reef sharks, sea turtles, and seasonal manta rays. Dive sites include Jolly Buoy, North Bay, Havelock, and Neil Islands.

Rainforests & Wildlife: Trek through the Mount Harriet National Park, wander into Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, or listen to the wind through centuries-old trees in the Chidiya Tapu reserve.

Cultural and Historical Significance

Cellular Jail, Port Blair: A haunting colonial-era prison that held freedom fighters under brutal conditions. Now a memorial with poignant light-and-sound shows.

Aborigine Tribes: Including the Great Andamanese, Onge, Jarawa, and Sentinelese—some of the world’s last uncontacted peoples. Acknowledging their land rights and traditions is integral to ethical tourism.

Thrilling Adventures

Sea Adventures: Scuba diving, snorkeling, sea walking, kayaking, and glass-bottom boat rides.

Jungle Trekking: Paths cut through dense forests to hidden waterfalls, rivers, and wildlife sanctuaries.

Birding: Thousands of migratory birds—open-billed storks, sea eagles, pelicans—find shelter in the mangroves.

Island Tours: Visiting offbeat gems like Long Island, Little Andaman, Baratang (famous for mud volcanoes), and North Bay.

When to Visit

Peak (October–May): Excellent weather, less rain, sea perfect for water sports. Ideal for honeymooners and families.

Shoulder (Monsoon, June–September): Dramatic skies, lush environment, quieter beaches. Expect occasional ferry delays.
