Andaman Holiday Tour 02 Night 03 Days

The Andaman Islands form an archipelago in the Bay of Bengal between India, to the west, and Myanmar, to the north and east. Most are part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands which are the Union Territory of India, while a small number in the north of the archipelago, including the Coco Islands, belong to Myanmar.

The Andaman Islands are home to the Andaman’s, a group of indigenous people that includes a number of tribes including the Jarawa and Sentinels tribes. While some of the islands can be visited with permits, others including the North Sentinel island are banned for entry by law

The Andaman Archipelago is an oceanic continuation of the Burmese Arakan Yoma range in the North and of the Indonesian Archipelago in the South. It has 325 islands which cover an area of 6,408 km² (2,474 sq mi) with the Andaman Sea to the east between the islands and the coast of Burma. North Andaman Island is 285 kilometers (177 mi) south of Burma, although a few smaller Burmese islands are closer, including the three Coco Islands. The islands are prominently featured in Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes 1890 mystery The Sign of the Four. The magistrate in Lady Gregory’s play Spreading the News had formerly served in the islands.
