Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Andaman and Nicobar Islands consist of lushly-forested, golden-beached tropical islands, over 300 of them stretching about 725 kilometres from north to south in the Bay of Bengal, are just being opened up and soon promise to be something much more than penal settlements and tribal fastnesses. Many of them will soon be the holiday destinations of tomorrow.
When to visit: December to April (Entry permits required for foreigners; Indians need them for the Nicobar Island)
