Stroll On Virgin Islands

Andaman & Nicobar Islands

-

An archipelag­o flung far off the eastern coast, the Andaman islands are known for its white sand beaches, abundant marine life and a peek into our colonial legacy. Of its 500-odd islands are the twin islands of Ross and Smith, connected by an 800-metre-long sandbar and a sight of breathtaki­ng beauty, only a 15-minute boat ride from Diglipur. The sandbar waxes wanes during the day, disappeari­ng under the sea during high and low tides. Walk from one island to the other flanked by clear, turquoise water, or go for a swim. There is almost no infrastruc­ture here, and the number of visitors at any time is limited, thus enhancing the feeling of being marooned in an otherworld­ly place. October to April is a good time to visit.
