This is just a day trip from Port Blair (Andaman) to a popular island called Baratang, that goes via the restricted access Jharawa forest (named after one of the oldest tribes of Andaman). This is a beautiful walk over a wooden pathway in between the mangroves and lush green trees towards the limestone caves.

Tip: rent a cab, start early morning at 3am as you need to go through check post that opens at 6am with a long convoy of tourist vehicles. Ride through the forest is an amazing experience. Remember not to click any pictures in the forest nor to stop your vehicle as it isn’t allowed for safety reasons. The tribe could be dangerous sometimes. After a 3hr ride, you need to take a ship that runs at scheduled times.

Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Andamans

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are outstanding and the location is beautiful. The food is very good and they have a good range of alcoholic beverages. The Settlers experience is excellent. Everything is kept very clean. Things they could improve, the villa we stayed in (12) could do with refurbishing. It is comfortable but for example the bathroom floor is slats and you can lose earrings etc through the gaps. It also creaks loudly! The only other thing is that the food delivery can be slow at times. "
