The Andaman Islands are a group of islands located in the Bay of Bengal, forming part of the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India. They are known for their pristine beaches, clear blue waters, and lush green forests. The capital city is Port Blair, which also houses the historic Cellular Jail, a reminder of India’s freedom struggle.
The islands are home to diverse marine life, beautiful coral reefs, and indigenous tribes such as the Great Andamanese and Jarawas. Popular tourist spots include Havelock Island (now Swaraj Dweep), Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), and Radhanagar Beach. The Andamans also play an important role in India’s strategic and ecological balance.
