The swaying palm trees lining the white sandy beaches along a clear blue sea is any travelers dream site. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal is a perfect embodiment of that dream. Thick virgin evergreen forests and indigenous tribes that have never come in contact with the modern world and unexplored coral reefs lining the shores make this place extremely unique. Not all Islands are open to tourists here, but there is still a very vast set of adventures and destinations to explore. Watersports like scuba diving, snorkeling, sea walks, jet skiing and many more fun events await any spirited traveler. Treks, caves, waterfalls and mangrove creeks are also part of this adventure destination. Not all islands here are inhabited but the ones that are accessible to tourists are equipped with required facilities. A visit to these tropical Islands can give you the memories for a lifetime.
