About Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Where history, nature, and adventure unite in a paradise of turquoise waters, lush forests, and timeless charm — brought to you by Andaman Expeditions.

Introduction

Nestled deep within the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a cluster of over 570 islands, each whispering stories of ancient tribes, colonial legacies, and pristine natural beauty. Once a mysterious and isolated land, these islands today are a dream destination for travelers seeking tranquility, marine adventures, and ecological wonders.

The islands are known for their untouched beaches, coral reefs teeming with marine life, and dense tropical rainforests that shelter some of the rarest flora and fauna on Earth. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a scuba diver, or simply someone yearning for peace, the Andamans offer an unforgettable escape.

From the historic Cellular Jail in Port Blair to the scenic beauty of Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) and the untouched charm of Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep), the Andamans are a treasure chest of culture and nature. Don’t miss the vibrant marine life at North Bay and the white sands of Radhanagar Beach, ranked among Asia’s finest.

Nature & Wildlife

The islands’ biodiversity is extraordinary — with lush mangroves, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests housing some of the rarest species found nowhere else on Earth. Over 270 bird species, including 106 endemic varieties, make these islands a birdwatcher’s paradise.

The official state symbols celebrate this diversity — the Andaman Wood Pigeon as the State Bird, Andaman Padauk as the State Tree, and the gentle Dugong (sea cow) as the State Animal. Nature lovers can explore 96 Wildlife Sanctuaries, 9 National Parks, and 1 Biosphere Reserve, each preserving the fragile ecosystem that defines this island chain.

The islands stretch like a necklace across the Bay of Bengal between 6°–14° N latitude and 92°–94° E longitude. Covering nearly 800 km from north to south, the Andaman group lies closer to Myanmar and Thailand than to mainland India — adding to their exotic allure.

Shopping at Andaman Islands

While not known as a commercial hub, the Andaman Islands are perfect for picking up unique, eco-friendly souvenirs. Local artisans craft beautiful items from wood, bamboo, jute, and seashells. Visit the renowned Sagarika Government Emporium for authentic island-made handicrafts and shell jewelry.

Buying from local craftsmen helps preserve indigenous art forms and supports sustainable livelihoods. You’ll find exquisite wooden carvings, handwoven mats, coconut shell products, and ornaments — each reflecting the island’s culture and creativity.

History of Andaman and Nicobar Islands | Andaman Expeditions

History of Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Explore the ancient roots, colonial past, tribal heritage, and modern evolution of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands — beautifully presented by Andaman Expeditions.

Ancient Beginnings — The First Humans of the Islands

The history of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands stretches back tens of thousands of years. Archaeological research suggests that human settlement began between 30,000 to 60,000 years ago, making these islands one of the world’s oldest inhabited regions. The earliest settlers are believed to be among the first groups migrating out of Africa, eventually forming the tribes who still live here today — the Jarawa, Onge, Great Andamanese, Shompen, and Sentinelese.

These ancient islanders lived in complete isolation for millennia, resulting in unique genetics, languages, and traditions. Their deep connection to forests and seas allowed them to survive harsh monsoon cycles, dense jungles, and natural disasters. For centuries, the islands remained untouched by the outside world, protected by their remoteness and tribal resistance.

Andaman Beach

Early Maritime Encounters — Traders & Explorers

Despite their isolation, the islands were known to ancient sailors navigating the Bay of Bengal. Arab, Chinese, Burmese, and Indian seafarers referenced the islands in ancient texts, often describing them as mysterious lands inhabited by forest dwellers with unmatched hunting skills. Though the islands lay along major sea routes, foreign settlement remained minimal due to tribal hostility and dense forests that discouraged exploration.

Over time, regional powers such as the Cholas and later the Marathas recognized the islands’ strategic importance. They attempted brief control for naval advantage, though no long-term settlement ever took root.

Colonial Era — Europeans Enter the Andaman Seas

The colonial chapter of Andaman history began when the British East India Company started exploring the islands in the late 1700s. In 1789, Captain Archibald Blair established the first British settlement at Chatham Island near present-day Port Blair. But due to disease, food shortages, and monsoon challenges, the colony was abandoned a few years later.

Yet the British never forgot the islands. Their remote geography made them ideal for something they urgently needed: a high-security penal colony.

1857 Revolt & the Birth of “Kala Pani”

After the First War of Indian Independence in 1857, the British needed a place to exile thousands of revolutionaries. The Andaman Islands became the chosen site, marking the beginning of one of the darkest phases in Indian colonial history. The islands soon came to be known as “Kala Pani”, meaning “Black Waters,” symbolizing exile, suffering, and inescapable punishment.

The Cellular Jail — Symbol of India’s Freedom Struggle

Construction of the infamous Cellular Jail began in 1896 and was completed in 1906. Designed for solitary confinement, the jail consisted of seven wings with 693 individual cells, each built to isolate prisoners completely. The jail stands today as one of the most powerful symbols of oppression and resistance in Indian history.

Political prisoners such as Veer Savarkar, Ullaskar Dutt, and Barindra Ghosh endured unimaginable torture inside the jail. Forced labor, hunger, isolation, and brutal punishments were part of daily life. Yet, even within its walls, the spirit of freedom burned brightly as prisoners organized protests, hunger strikes, and wrote revolutionary literature.

World War II — Japanese Rule & Netaji’s Visit

In 1942, during World War II, the Japanese Army captured the Andaman and Nicobar Islands from the British. For nearly three years, the islands served as a strategic military base for Japan. During this time, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, leading the Indian National Army, visited the islands and hoisted the Indian flag in 1943 — the first symbolic assertion of Indian rule over Indian territory.

He renamed the islands Shaheed Dweep (Andaman) and Swaraj Dweep (Nicobar), titles that reflect his vision for a free India.

Post-Independence — Reconstruction & Resilience

After India gained independence in 1947, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands became a part of the Union of India. Over the following decades, the islands were rebuilt from the ruins of war and colonial exploitation. Settlers from different parts of India moved to the islands, creating a culturally diverse and harmonious community.

Infrastructure improved, new ports and towns were developed, and the islands gradually transformed into one of India’s most scenic tourist destinations. Yet, immense efforts were also made to protect tribal communities and preserve the islands’ fragile ecosystems.

The 2004 Tsunami — A Tragedy That Changed Everything

On 26 December 2004, a devastating earthquake in the Indian Ocean triggered one of the deadliest tsunamis in history. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands were among the worst affected. Entire villages in the Nicobar district were destroyed, thousands of lives were lost, and geographical landscapes changed permanently.

Despite the devastation, the people of the islands emerged stronger. Through government support and global assistance, the islands were rebuilt — better prepared, more resilient, and environmentally conscious.

Modern Andaman — A Blend of Heritage, Nature & Culture

Today, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands stand as a breathtaking combination of pristine beaches, lush forests, and fascinating historical landmarks. Travelers from around the world visit to experience the Cellular Jail Light & Sound Show, explore the ruins of Ross Island, witness tribal cultures from a respectful distance, and dive into the vibrant coral reefs.

The islands are also strategically significant for India, serving as a major naval and air command base in the Indian Ocean.

Entry Guide to Andaman Islands

Entry Requirements for Indian Nationals

For Indian citizens, entering the Andaman Islands is straightforward and hassle-free. Since the islands are an integral territory of India, there is no passport requirement for domestic tourists.

Accepted Photo ID Documents

  • Aadhaar Card
  • Driving Licence
  • Voter Identification Card

  • PAN Card (not valid alone for flights but acceptable for hotel check-ins)

Minors traveling with parents may be required to show a birth certificate, school ID card, or any document that verifies identity and age. Family groups should ideally carry photocopies of all documents as well.

Defence personnel posted temporarily in the islands need to carry official assignment letters or travel orders. Their families traveling under dependent status should also carry necessary ID forms.

Entry Requirements for Foreign Nationals

Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) can freely enter the Andaman Islands without additional permits. They must carry:

  • Valid OCI/PIO card
  • Valid passport

Restricted & Protected Areas for Foreigners

The Government of India regulates foreign entry into specific zones, tribes, and ecological reserves. Foreigners cannot enter tribal areas or restricted territories without special permission.

Restricted Area Permit (RAP) – What You Must Know

Until 2018, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands required foreign tourists to obtain a Restricted Area Permit (RAP). Although many islands have since been exempted, the Government of India still maintains RAP for sensitive regions, tribal reserves, and ecologically fragile zones.

Who Needs RAP?

  • Foreign nationals visiting sensitive islands
  • Researchers conducting field studies
  • Professional photographers & film crew
  • Visitors traveling to tribal or restricted zones

Where RAP is Still Mandatory

  • Nicobar District (entire region)
  • Little Andaman (specific tribal zones)
  • Jarawa Tribal Reserve
  • Shompen & Nicobarese areas
  • Tribal corridors & forest-protected zones

The RAP is usually issued for 30 days and may be extended under special circumstances. Visitors must apply through the Andaman District Administration or Indian immigration authorities.

Protected Tribal Zones – Strict Regulations

The Andaman Islands are home to some of the world’s most isolated and vulnerable tribes, such as the Sentinelese, Jarawa, Shompen, and Onge. These tribes are protected under the Andaman & Nicobar Islands (Protection of Aboriginal Tribes) Regulation, 1956.

Important Rules

  • Photography of tribal communities is strictly banned.
  • Tourists cannot enter tribal reserves.
  • No interaction, feeding, or contact allowed.
  • Maintaining distance is mandatory.
  • Violations can lead to imprisonment or fines.

These rules ensure that the tribes remain undisturbed and safe from external influences, diseases, and exploitation.

COVID & Health-Related Entry Rules (If Reintroduced)

Health regulations may be enforced during outbreaks or emergencies. These typically include:

  • Thermal screening upon arrival
  • Vaccination certificate (if mandated)
  • Negative RT-PCR report (during high-alert phases)

Entry Rules for Specific Islands

Entry to Havelock, Neil, Baratang & Diglipur

Indian and foreign tourists may freely travel to these islands without special permits. However, certain forest routes, especially near Jarawa Reserve (Baratang), are monitored.

Entry to Nicobar Islands

The Nicobar Islands remain highly restricted due to tribal protection laws. Only:

  • Residents
  • Government officials
  • Defence personnel
  • Researchers with clearance

Professionals visiting the islands for documentary work, photography, scientific research, or NGO projects must apply for additional approvals. These may include:

  • Research Permits
  • Filming Permits
  • Drone Permissions
  • Forest Department Clearances
  • Tribal Welfare Department Approvals

Drone Use Rules

Drone flying is restricted across many zones and requires:

  • DGCA approval
  • Local police clearance
  • Port Blair administration approval
Unauthorized drone use can result in fines or confiscation.

Arrival Process at Port Blair Airport

Upon arriving at Veer Savarkar International Airport, passengers go through the following steps:

  • ID verification at entry
  • Baggage collection
  • Hotel verification (for foreign nationals)
  • Travel information form (if required)

Airport authorities may also issue guidelines related to weather conditions, safety protocols, or cyclone alerts.
