Andaman is a place where beauty in a true sense really enthralls. These roughly 300 islands are known for their palm-lined, white-sand beaches, mangroves and tropical rainforests. Coral reefs supporting marine life such as sharks and rays make for popular diving and snorkeling sites. Indigenous Andaman Islanders inhabit the more remote islands, many of which are off limits to visitors. For some it is a place where one can behold the gorgeous beauty of nature and seek solace, for some it is a treasure trove of thrilling adventures. For some it is an inspiration to create an amazing art, for some it is a place to cherish the moments of togetherness. Stunning wildlife sanctuaries and national parks, awesome beaches, museums and primitive jungles and Mangrove forests makes sightseeing in Andaman so interesting and engaging. Andaman is truly a place worth visiting for memorable holidays.
