The Andaman Islands are a group of islands located in the Bay of Bengal and form part of the Indian Union Territory known as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. These islands are known for their pristine beaches, clear turquoise waters, coral reefs, and lush forests. Port Blair is the capital city and the main gateway to the islands. The islands hold historical significance, especially with the infamous Cellular Jail, which was used by the British to imprison Indian freedom fighters. The local culture is a mix of indigenous tribal traditions and settlers from mainland India. Tourism is a major part of the region’s economy, with attractions like Havelock Island (now renamed Swaraj Dweep), Radhanagar Beach, Neil Island, and scuba diving and snorkeling spots drawing visitors from around the world. Despite being a remote location, the islands offer a unique blend of natural beauty and history, making them one of India’s most captivating destinations.
