Andaman Island Travels
Other nature spots
- Chidiya Tapu – “Sunset Point of Andaman”, also good for birdwatching and a short trek to Munda Pahad.
- Little Andaman (Hut Bay) – Farther and less commercial: Butler Bay Beach, White Surf & Whisper Wave waterfalls.
???? Nicobar note: Most of the Nicobar group (including tribal areas and North Sentinel Island) is not open for tourism and requires special permits, so typical itineraries focus only on the Andaman group around Port Blair, Havelock, Neil, Baratang and Diglipur.
