‘Traditional Culture of the Andaman Islands’
Untouched by modern man until the late 1700s, the A & N Islands were home to prehistoric tribes, the descendents of whom still inhabit the islands to this day and remain largely cut off from the outside world. A diverse range of flora and fauna thrive in rainforests that cover the islands as well as in the coral reefs off the islands’ sandy shores, including the Coelacanth, long believed to be extinct.

‘Five Indian beach houses’
By Theodora Manassieva for The Independent.
First published 8th November 2008.
Barefoot At Havelock, Andaman Islands:
Geographically closer to Thailand than India, the Andamans are characterised by tropical rainforests, white sand beaches and teal-coloured water. The Barefoot resort features 18 environmentally sustainable, rustic cottages set against a jungle backdrop. Facilities are minimal, with the emphasis on experiencing the island's natural beauty: forest walks, kayaking and swimming with elephants.
