Andaman / Nicobar Islands Honeymoon Tour
Highlights : Off the eastern coast of India in the Bay of Bengal, lies an archipelago very close to the Myanmar's coastline, yet a part of India. Almost untouched by the modern world, some of the islands are inhabited by the original tribes. Of the total of 572 islands, islets and rocks, only 38 are inhabited. Though a famous tourist destination now, it has a very dark history very closely associated with the British Raj.
In Port Blair, the capital city, lies the ruins of the cellular jail, where the freedom fighters were tortured and kept in solitary confinement. A punishment worse than death (it is said that no prisoner sent there ever returned to the mainland), it was known as Kala Pani (Black water) and it was spoken of with fear and awe. It is now a memorial in honor of those who were imprisoned there and those who perished.

Mangrove Canopy Walk
A unique facility for tourists has come up with the 240 meters long Mangrove canopy walk at Baratang Island. The canopy walk is a long wooden structure raised to the height of one to two meters and passes through thick mangrove forests on each side. Display boards are also placed along the walkway which serves as an open mangrove interpretation centre. These boards provide detailed information about mangrove forests and its importance in the protection and conservation of the coastal areas.
Creek Safari
One can take a cruise along the creeks of Baratang and enjoy the breathtaking scenery, the mangroves, do some interesting bird-watching and sight some wildlife if lucky enough.
Bird Tours
The habitat preferences of 30 species of forest birds were studied in Baratang Island in the Andaman's, India. The relationship between habitat preferences and large-scale patterns, such as biogeographical distribution of each species on the continent of Asia and distributional status within the Andaman Islands was analyzed. The birds fell into five categories, those found predominantly in only one habitat type, evergreen or deciduous forest, and those which used a broader range of habitats, which were classified on the basis of their relative occurrence in each habitat type as semi-evergreen, moist deciduous or generalist species. The habitat preferences of these 30 species showed no association with either the biogeographical distribution or with status, suggesting that large-scale distributional patterns are not related to habitat preferences.
Bird watching is a family sport, which you can enjoy with your whole family and introduce the small children also about the surprise that nature has in stored. Bird Watching can easily be called a community activity, a social activity. Still, if you like to explore nature alone then so be it. Its a pleasure in going out alone for bird watching too, it brings out a feeling of solitude. Even if bird watching is a new activity on the Indian adventure sports circuit still the popularity rate of this activity is catching up with the sports enthusiast of almost every age group.
Trekking
One can go trekking through the nature trail from many locations and enjoy the rare forest life, flora and fauna.
Island Camping
Island camps are just the right choice for the nature-lovers, who wish to enjoy sun, sea and the pristine beauty of nature by spending quiet holidays right on the beach.
Beach Tours
One can enjoy the unexplored beaches of Havelock, Baratang island and surroundings.
Snorkeling / Scuba Diving
One can enjoy the under-water marine life and view the rarest varieties of corals by snorkeling on all days from dawn to dusk depending on weather.
Andaman waters offer a fascinating world of under-water marine life, varieties of colourful fishes, rarest of the coral reefs in the world, mysterious remains of sunken ships etc. All these can be explored through Scuba Diving.

Mangrove Canopy Walk
A unique facility for tourists has come up with the 240 meters long Mangrove canopy walk at Baratang Island. The canopy walk is a long wooden structure raised to the height of one to two meters and passes through thick mangrove forests on each side. Display boards are also placed along the walkway which serves as an open mangrove interpretation centre. These boards provide detailed information about mangrove forests and its importance in the protection and conservation of the coastal areas.
Creek Safari
One can take a cruise along the creeks of Baratang and enjoy the breathtaking scenery, the mangroves, do some interesting bird-watching and sight some wildlife if lucky enough.
Bird Tours
The habitat preferences of 30 species of forest birds were studied in Baratang Island in the Andaman's, India. The relationship between habitat preferences and large-scale patterns, such as biogeographical distribution of each species on the continent of Asia and distributional status within the Andaman Islands was analyzed. The birds fell into five categories, those found predominantly in only one habitat type, evergreen or deciduous forest, and those which used a broader range of habitats, which were classified on the basis of their relative occurrence in each habitat type as semi-evergreen, moist deciduous or generalist species. The habitat preferences of these 30 species showed no association with either the biogeographical distribution or with status, suggesting that large-scale distributional patterns are not related to habitat preferences.
Bird watching is a family sport, which you can enjoy with your whole family and introduce the small children also about the surprise that nature has in stored. Bird Watching can easily be called a community activity, a social activity. Still, if you like to explore nature alone then so be it. Its a pleasure in going out alone for bird watching too, it brings out a feeling of solitude. Even if bird watching is a new activity on the Indian adventure sports circuit still the popularity rate of this activity is catching up with the sports enthusiast of almost every age group.
Trekking
One can go trekking through the nature trail from many locations and enjoy the rare forest life, flora and fauna.
Island Camping
Island camps are just the right choice for the nature-lovers, who wish to enjoy sun, sea and the pristine beauty of nature by spending quiet holidays right on the beach.
Beach Tours
One can enjoy the unexplored beaches of Havelock, Baratang island and surroundings.
