Travelogue - Andaman Islands


Andaman & Nicobar Islands is a chain of 300 islands lying in the middle of Bay of Bengal. It became a part of the Union Territory of India in 1956. The Nicobar Islands are off-limits to the general public and are mainly inhabited by about 12,000 tribesmen. Port Blair is the most significant harbour and also the capital of this territory. The best time to visit Andaman is between October and May.
During the month of May we set-off on our journey to this beautiful island. We started from Bangalore via Chennai and set afoot in the morning hours at the Veer Savarkar airport in Port Blair. The ever courteous people from this small island were here to meet and greet us.
