Know more about Baratang Island

The Journey: The Andaman Trunk Road (ATR)

The trip to Baratang is as famous as the destination itself. To reach the island, you must pass through the Jarawa Tribal Reserve.

The Convoy: Vehicles move in a strictly regulated government convoy.
Safety & Ethics: Photography, offering food, or interacting with the Jarawa tribe is strictly prohibited by law. We ensure our guests follow all forest department protocols to respect the privacy of the indigenous people.

Located 100 km north of Port Blair, Baratang Island is a stark departure from the white-sand beaches of Havelock. It is a land of dense tropical rainforests, ancient geological formations, and emerald mangrove creeks. At Pristine Andaman, we curate the ultimate day-trip experience to this offbeat paradise.

Top Sightseeing Attractions

1. The Limestone Caves (Nature’s Architecture)

Formed over millions of years by the slow erosion of sedimentary rocks, these caves are a must-visit.

The Journey: A thrilling 30-minute speedboat ride through narrow mangrove tunnels where the trees lean in to form a natural canopy.
What to See: Follow a 1.2 km wooden walkway and jungle trail to reach the caves. Inside, witness massive stalactites and stalagmites that have formed into shapes resembling animals, deities, and abstract pillars.
Pro Tip: Wear sturdy walking shoes; the cave floor can be slippery and uneven.

2. The Mud Volcano (India’s Only Active Site)

Witness a rare geological phenomenon found in very few places globally.

The Experience: A short drive from the Baratang jetty followed by a brief uphill walk leads you to the site.
What to See: Small craters that bubble with cold mud, pushed to the surface by natural gases. While not a "lava" volcano, the science behind it is fascinating for nature enthusiasts.

3. Mangrove Creek Safari

The waterways of Baratang are its lifeline.

The Experience: As you head toward the caves, you will pass through some of the densest mangrove ecosystems in India.
Highlight: The "Mangrove Tunnel" experience—where the water reflects deep green and the silence is only broken by the sound of the boat and chirping kingfishers.

4. Parrot Island (Sunset Spectacle)

The Experience: Requires an overnight stay in Baratang.
What to See: At dusk, thousands of parrots return to this small island from the surrounding forests. The sight of the sky turning "green" with birds against a crimson sunset is truly magical.
