The Andaman Islands are a group of islands located in the Bay of Bengal, belonging to the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India. The Andaman group consists of about 300 islands, known for their beautiful beaches, tropical rainforests, and rich marine life. The capital city is Port Blair.
The islands are home to several indigenous tribes, such as the Great Andamanese, Onge, and Jarawa, who have lived there for thousands of years. The Cellular Jail, also known as Kala Pani, is a historic monument in Port Blair that reminds us of India’s freedom struggle.
Tourism, fishing, and forestry are major economic activities. The Andamans are also known for coral reefs, scuba diving, and biodiversity, making them an important ecological and tourist destination.
