Description
The Andaman Islands (अंडमान द्वीपसमूह) are a remote archipelago in the Bay of Bengal and among India's most spectacular island destinations. Located closer to Myanmar and Thailand than to mainland India, they are renowned for their white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs. Highlights include Radhanagar Beach on Swaraj Dweep, world-class diving and snorkeling sites, and the historic Cellular Jail in Port Blair. Thanks to their remote location, the Andaman Islands have retained much of their unspoiled natural beauty and are widely regarded as one of South Asia's finest tropical paradises.
