Floating in
splendid isolation, east of the Indian mainland is the archipelago of
572 emerald islands, islets and rocks known as Andaman & Nicobar
Islands. This Union Territory is stretched over an area of more than 700
KMs. From north to south with 36 inhabited islands. These undulating
islands are covered with dense forests and endless variety of exotic
flowers and birds. The topography of the islands is hilly and abounds in
evergreen forests. The sandy beaches on the edge of meandering coastline
are fringed with coconut palms that sway to the rhythm of the sea. The
sea around the islands offers excellent scope for water sports. The rare
flora and fauna, underwater marine life and corals, with crystal clear
water and mangrove-lined creeks, offer a dream-view of the rare gifts of
nature. The clean and wide roads, free of filth as well as unpolluted
fresh air attract any nature-lover who seeks absolute peace and
tranquility in the lap of Mother Nature. Adventure tourism like
trekking, island camping, snorkeling, scuba diving etc are the real
attractions. Canter welcomes you to visit these islands that would be a
memorable lifetime experience.
