Andaman, in a nutshell


South east of India in a corner lies a tiny island bound by the oceans. A beautiful state of our country! Nay, it’s a union territory.

No chief minister or Assembly, the central government rules.

There are clean roads and beautiful beaches; You see hospitable people and helpful passers-by.
 
You find hundreds of islets as part of Andamans. Though not all are inhabited, some are wonderful tourist spots!

Ross island was used by the British to holiday with their family. Havelock island houses Asia’s No.1 beach as certified by Times magazine. Neil island has the world’s finest natural bridge. Bartang island has many limestone caves with stalagmites and stalactites!

Excite your life, with a plethora of water sports - Jet skiing, snorkelling, sea walking and scuba diving to name a few.

Hundreds of tribal communities still live in nature, distant from the hustle and bustle of the city. Government protects them as some are endangered.

Far away from the mainland, one has to actually wait for the first flight to arrive even to read the morning newspaper. But, of all the places in India that I’ve visited, I love Andaman the most! You wouldn’t be cheated by a taxi driver in a fleet nor would you find

a beggar on the street! Zero crime rate, can you believe? I love Andamans!
