Andaman Island Odyssey

Andaman Island Odyssey
Tucked away in one corner of the Bay of Bengal is an archipelago of island called the Andamans. Here are pristine islands of tropical forests lightened jewel like on the velvet blue of the sea, perfect for a holiday on its golden mangrove beaches. The Andaman and Nickobar groups of 293 islands stretch over 700 kms. Rich evergreen rain forests abound the island, which have abundant bird life and a multi colour under-water world of sea life. The water in exotic shades of green, blue and turquoise is like a sheet of clear glass through which one can view the coral beds.
The local Islanders or the tribal people are aboriginese who have Negroid features.

They have their home in the jungles. Seemingly cut off from the world, the Andaman and Nickobar Islands are one of the last frontiers that have resisted the onslaught of civilizations. There are areas here where no one is allowed to visit, for Island support tribals who lives the way making did thousands of years ago, but islands where you can visit offer the lure of underwater coral gardens, unspoiled beaches and watersports like diving, windsurfing, fishing, angling, water skiing, sailing, snorkeling, collecting rare shells on the beaches and studying underwater marine life. “Truly a tourists’ fun holiday".
