Andaman Islands – 4 Nights/5 Days
Floating in splendid isolation, east of the Indian mainland in the Bay of Bengal is the archipelago of 572 Emerald islands, islets, and rocks known as the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The sandy beaches on the edge of the meandering coastline are fringed with coconut palms that sway to the rhythm of the sea. The sea around the islands offers excellent scope for adventure water sports. The rare flora and fauna, underwater marine life and corals, crystal clear water, and mangrove-lined creeks, offer a dream view of the rare gifts of nature.
Mythological, the name Andaman was presumed to be derived from Hanuman, who was known to the Malays as Handyman. Since Prehistoric times, these islands have been the home of aboriginal tribes. The tribes of, the Andaman group of islands are the Great Andamanese, Onges, Jarawas, and Sentinatese, all of Negrito origin, while the tribes of Nicobars are the Nicobarese and Shompens, both of Mongoloid stock. The first settlement by the British took place in 1789, which was later abandoned in 1796. The second settlement was basically a penal settlement, taken up in 1858, after the First War of Independence, followed by the settlement of convicts, Moplas, some criminal tribes from Central and United Provinces, refugees from erstwhile East Pakistan, Burma, and Sri Lanka as well as ex-servicemen.
