Andaman Islands

Scattered across the Bay of Bengal, the Andamans feel like another world—emerald rainforests above, turquoise seas below, and reefs alive with turtles, manta rays, and huge schools of barracuda. Dugongs graze in seagrass meadows, while forests echo with hornbills and saltwater crocodiles move through mangroves. Many of the islands remain uninhabited, and some are home only to protected Indigenous tribes, leaving much of the archipelago untouched.
