Why it matters

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are known for turquoise waters, tropical beaches, coral reefs, lush forests and peaceful island escapes. Popular experiences include island hopping, snorkelling, scuba diving and relaxing on pristine beaches.
The islands combine indigenous heritage, maritime history and important chapters of India's independence movement. Port Blair's Cellular Jail is one of the region's most significant historic landmarks.
