Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Andaman & Nicobar Islands – An archipelago of around 572 odd jewel like Islets, reefs and rocks clustered in the bay of Bengal, the Andaman is an idyllic getaway holiday resort. Only a few are accessible to tourists but they offer uncrowded unspoilt long stretches of beach pounded by white surf and distant shorelines shadowed by dense evergreen rain forests for most of the year except the monsoon of the year except the monsoon months.
The coral reefs around the islands are rich in breathtakingly colourful marine life. Some of the native tribes- Nicobarese, Shompens, Andamanese, Onges, Sentinelese and Jarawas – Still practice their prehistoric lifestyle. The anthropological, zoological and botanical ecology here Is very fragile and deserves utmost care from the visitors.
