• Andaman & Nicobar Islands

EDVENTURE EXPLAINED

Why did we choose Andaman and Nicobar Islands?

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands lie towards the east of the Indian mainland in the Bay of Bengal. Formed by the submerged peaks of a hill range extending from Myanmar to Indonesia, this archipelago stretches over a vast area serving as a boundary between the Bay of Bengal towards the east and South Andaman Sea towards the west. With 86% of its area covered by tropical rainforests, over hundreds of plant and animal species can be found there. The fabulous beaches, evergreen forests, and coral reserve ecosystem of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands make it a unique travel destination.

What does this journey offer?

The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are replete with sandy beaches, rich lagoons, and tropical forests. This archipelago offers a peek into the colonial historical paradigm that unfolded in the last two centuries, contributing to the social, cultural, and economic milieu of the region. Established as a penal colony for Indian freedom fighters by the British, Port Blair offers an interesting insight into India’s colonial past. Moreover, it offers a plethora of experiences such as adventure water sports and an informative light-and-sound show.
