Its one of the seven territories of India and is halfway between India and Thailand. Traditionally protected due to its tribal culture, a little information is available about the island.

However, in the recent years, the charming and emerald isles have gained military importance along with liberalization in terms of licensing and permissions.

You and your family can do various things over here like snorkeling, scuba diving, attending light and sound show, take nature walks, hop islands for watching sunsets and sun rise, swim with elephants. Mingling of sea and sky at the shore will help weave threads of togetherness stronger. (Dil dhadakne do feels :p ). One major attraction of this place is the Havelock Islands and is a must visit.
