A cluster of picturesque floated in splendid isolation Andaman & Nicobar Islands have been shrouded in mystery for centuries, thanks to the hostile tribes who remained incommunicado. Shimmer like emeralds in sea, the islands with its dense forests, innumerable exotic flowers and birds, crystal clear waters exude a unique charm beckoning the beholders.
The Endless goes on as the sun, the sand, the surf, rare coral reefs, turtle nests, scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities, glass bottomed boats to view the underwater marine life, the active volcano that looms large in the Barren Island, the cellular jail, the gallows on Viper and the ruins of Ross Islands… all vie for one another - offering the most lingering memory of natures’ marvelous gift. The islands thus played host to an exotic assortment of creatures, in air, on land and under the sea. Large areas of the Andamans have been set-aside as restricted zones, leaving these Stone Age people in peace and their cultures intact. The amazing racial and cultural mix aptly describes Andamans as a miniature version of India. That is why the Andamans are a dream destination for nature lovers, trekkers, kayakers, sailors and divers alike.
