The Andaman Islands are an archipelago in the Bay of Bengal, located between India to the west and Myanmar to the north and east. Comprising over 500 islands, only a few are inhabited, with the main islands being North Andaman, Middle Andaman, South Andaman, and Little Andaman. The capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands union territory is Port Blair, situated on South Andaman Island.
The Andaman Islands are renowned for their stunning natural beauty, pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and diverse marine life. The islands are characterized by their white sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs, making them a popular destination for tourists and nature enthusiasts alike.
One of the unique features of the Andaman Islands is the presence of indigenous tribes, including the Jarawa, Sentinalese, Onge, and Great Andamanese. These tribes have inhabited the islands for thousands of years and have largely maintained their traditional way of life, living in harmony with nature.
Tourism is a significant industry in the Andaman Islands, offering activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, trekking, and birdwatching.
