ANDAMAN PART 6//BARATANG ISLAND//LIMESTONE CAVE//JARAWA RESERVE FOREST//ANDAMAN TOUR//ANDAMAN 2024

BARATANG ISLAND
Baratang Island is famous for its natural wonders, from impressive Limestone caves and dense mangrove creeks. There are tidal swamp forests and small but fascinating Mud Volcanos. It is the first gateway up North from the capital city, located between the Middle and south of Andaman. Due to its distance from Port Blair (Approximately 100 K.M) it is a popular one day trip destination. Especially for those who come with limited time on hand.

Unlike Havelock Island, Baratang remains slightly less developed. One must not expect a major tourist hub as there are almost no tourist facilities. fancy restaurants, or Luxury accommodation facilities here. Most locals do not speak English. The place, however is still a natural delight.

How to Reach Baratang
The Best and most convenient way to reach Baratang is by hiring a private vehicle/car or a Private AC Bus. If you are looking to reach Baratang in the most cost effective way. taking a government bus from Port Blair is your Best Bet. Two Wheelers are not allowed to go all the way to Baratang. You will have to travel through the "Andaman Trunk Road" and move in a convoy with one short vehicle ferry connection among the islands. This is a four hour bumpy ride but the lush jungles and blue waters can make the drive quite interesting.

One Point to note here is that One can spot a few Jarawas on the way. The ATR cuts through the Jungle that is home to the indigenous Jarawa tribe and many tribals People wait on the sides of the road to cross to other side. Interacting with them, giving them food, gifts or even clicking their pictures is Not allowed. One Can be fined and imprisoned for the same.

Limestone Caves
The Limestone cave formations at Nayadera and the vast mangrove covered creeks are the main attractions for tourists in Baratang. The Island is Known for limestones, which deposit themselves either above the soil or under the ground forming interesting formations and layers.
You can easily get a boat at the Nilambar Jetty, which will take you to the famous caves. on the way you can admire scenic coastline covered with mangroves forests and you even pass through mangrove covered canals making the ride more exciting.
Once you reach the wooden jetty at Nayadera you will have to walk down for about 1.2 Kms to view this beauty of nature. The walls of caves here are covered with massive formations dangling from the ceiling like chandeliers. The water is constantly dripping from the ceiling making the stalactites and stalagmites shine and glow.
But unfortunately we missed the Mud Volcano, Parrot Island and Baludera Beach.
