The Emerald Islands - Andaman and Nicobar Islands
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 stretches over a length of
more than 700-kms. From north to south with 36 inhabited islands. Once
a hill range extending from Burma to Indonesia, these undulating
islands are covered with dense forests and endless variety of exotic
flora and fauna.
