Andaman / Nicobar Islands Honeymoon T
our

Highlights : Off the eastern coast of India in the Bay of Bengal, lies an archipelago very close to the Myanmar's coastline, yet a part of India. Almost untouched by the modern world, some of the islands are inhabited by the original tribes. Of the total of 572 islands, islets and rocks, only 38 are inhabited. Though a famous tourist destination now, it has a very dark history very closely associated with the British Raj.

In Port Blair, the capital city, lies the ruins of the cellular jail, where the freedom fighters were tortured and kept in solitary confinement. A punishment worse than death (it is said that no prisoner sent there ever returned to the mainland), it was known as Kala Pani (Black water) and it was spoken of with fear and awe. It is now a memorial in honor of those who were imprisoned there and those who perished.

The island has a graveyard of the British nationals who were buried during their stay in these islands.

Viper Island
The Viper Island was used by the British to imprison convicts before the cellular jail was constructed. Remains of the old jail and the gallows built by the British in 1867 are still visible on top of a hillock, which offers breathtaking views of the sea and other islands. The island got its name from a British ship by the same name that was wrecked nearby.

            Exclusive Honeymoon Tour Package suggestion No. 3:

          
"Andaman redefined – exclusive offbeat beach holidays"
 
Dew Dale Resorts, a luxury village resort is a Pioneer venture in Baratang Island. It is a rural innovation and developed with the concept of promoting rural tourism mixing the same with ecotourism. Even though Baratang Island is rich with all the ingredients for promoting ecotourism activities, this part of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands is most undeveloped, since majority of population belong to tribal community of Chota-nagpur belt of Chattisgarh, Jharkhand & Orissa of India. These people were settled in Baratang Island under the colonization scheme and still maintain their tribal culture.

We have put in a limited but smart beginning towards tourism development in Baratang Island. As Rural tourism is a new concept and in order to allow the local communities to accept this concept, it has to be implemented cautiously in a planned and phased manner.

As part of our next promotional strategy to enable sustainable tourism in most interior untapped locations, we have developed a unique but best tourism product for the visitors to Andaman & Nicobar Islands. This is the first of its kind and we are sure that each and every tourist who takes this package will certainly salute our efforts taken for the development of tourism activity in Baratang Island.

This is totally an offbeat itinerary with daily excursions to different isolated beaches. This will be suitable for all ages including families, nature-lovers, honeymooners & small groups. We have designed the package with duration upto 7nights/8days with daily activities as excursions to different offbeat Beaches. In case one wishes to take a few days at leisure or repeat visits to any favorite Beach or explore more nearby hidden beaches (to be disclosed only to confirmed tourists) during their tour then the stay can be extended further up to 14 nights as per the individual’s will and wish.

The main highlight of this tour is, this will be totally a private tour covering offbeat beaches and can be conducted during any weather conditions but, of course, one should be ready to get drenched in the rains during monsoon.

We have also kept the option of adding up any special activities for special interest groups in the package. Any arrangements to include activities such as Open-air conferences / meetings, Bicycling, Bird watching, boating, canoeing / Kayaking, Climbing, Hand line fishing, photography, Snorkeling, Jungle trekking, Walking, Dolphin Watching etc. can be done without any extra cost. The itinerary can be modified with the day-wise inclusions of add-on activities in the original itinerary as per intending groups.

Scuba-Diving trips can be included at an extra cost in the same itineraries at off-beat locations. These trips will however, be subject to weather conditions.

Trip will be routed via the Carbyn’s Cove Beach. The total drive is around 2 ½ hours from Port Blair through the Jarawa reserve forest. Jarawas are one of the primitive tribes in Andaman Islands who still live in jungle in Stone Age lifestyle.

After Breakfast you will be taken to the nearby beach of Baludera via the mud volcano site.

Supplementary Activities one can opt at extra charge during Andaman Island Holidays

Mangrove Canopy Walk

A unique facility for tourists has come up with the 240 meters long Mangrove canopy walk at Baratang Island. The canopy walk is a long wooden structure raised to the height of one to two meters and passes through thick mangrove forests on each side. Display boards are also placed along the walkway which serves as an open mangrove interpretation centre. These boards provide detailed information about mangrove forests and its importance in the protection and conservation of the coastal areas.

Creek Safari
One can take a cruise along the creeks of Baratang and enjoy the breathtaking scenery, the mangroves, do some interesting bird-watching and sight some wildlife if lucky enough.

Bird Tours
The habitat preferences of 30 species of forest birds were studied in Baratang Island in the Andaman's, India. The relationship between habitat preferences and large-scale patterns, such as biogeographical distribution of each species on the continent of Asia and distributional status within the Andaman Islands was analyzed. The birds fell into five categories, those found predominantly in only one habitat type, evergreen or deciduous forest, and those which used a broader range of habitats, which were classified on the basis of their relative occurrence in each habitat type as semi-evergreen, moist deciduous or generalist species. The habitat preferences of these 30 species showed no association with either the biogeographical distribution or with status, suggesting that large-scale distributional patterns are not related to habitat preferences.

Bird watching is a family sport, which you can enjoy with your whole family and introduce the small children also about the surprise that nature has in stored. Bird Watching can easily be called a community activity, a social activity. Still, if you like to explore nature alone then so be it. Its a pleasure in going out alone for bird watching too, it brings out a feeling of solitude. Even if bird watching is a new activity on the Indian adventure sports circuit still the popularity rate of this activity is catching up with the sports enthusiast of almost every age group.
