Oman today_ The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, located in the heart of the Bay of Bengal, have traditionally been less visited due to their difficult access. However, with the introduction of the first scheduled international flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Port Blair in 2024, this is gradually changing. Some might mistakenly associate this region with the incident involving John Allen Chau, the American missionary who was killed on the North Sentinel Islands, but it is important to note that access to the North Sentinel Island is incredibly difficult and illegal. Additionally, the region’s hospitable people and beautiful, pristine landscapes should not be overlooked.
Those who have had the chance to visit these islands, before international brands entered the scene, often compare them to the Maldives. Here, you can enjoy fresh fruit juices, tea, and delicious breakfasts at local cafes and engage in activities such as diving and boating on the untouched beaches.
Barren Island, which houses India’s only active volcano, is accessible by private boat. Similarly, Swaraj Dweep, just a boat ride away from Port Blair, is particularly attractive for diving enthusiasts. Moreover, due to the limited internet connectivity in this archipelago, it offers a unique opportunity to disconnect completely and experience tranquility and pristine nature.
