At 1,000 km off the east coast of India, the 500 or so
islands of Andaman and Nicobar represent India’s most remote
state. A permit is required to visit the Andaman Islands and
the Nicobar Islands are off limits to visitors (to protect
the indigenous population). In fact very few foreign guests
visit the Andaman Islands and consequently there are few
hotels and a limited infrastructure. This, however, makes a
visit very appealing to those who like to explore places off
the beaten track. The islands’ thick tropical forests
support a wide range of wildlife, and their isolation means
that many species are endemic. The islands are particularly
attractive to SCUBA divers as some of the marine life to be
found along the fringing reefs is unique to the area.
A permit is required for the Andaman Islands and this can be
obtained on arrival in Port Blair. Flights are from Chennai
Airport.
