Andaman & Nicobar

Sunbathe in the mellow sun as you sip from a fresh coconut. Or swim out into the waves where dolphins and many-hued fish accompany you. Welcome to Andaman and Nicobar !

S cattered in the Bay of Bengal lie the rich forested islands of Andaman and Nicobar. The combine of 362 volcanic islands (of which only 37 are inhabited) form an idyllic archipelago of gleaming white sandy beaches, a crystal-clear turquoise sea teeming with fish, and picturesque coral reefs. The tropical rain forests that loom close to the seashore are home to unique species of birds, and to tribes that still haven't learned to use fire. The clear waters of the Andaman and Nicobar are ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving.
