The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a group of islands located in the Bay of Bengal, near the eastern coast of India. The archipelago consists of 572 islands, out of which only 37 are inhabited. The islands are known for their beautiful beaches, exotic flora and fauna, and vibrant culture.

The Andaman Islands are home to various indigenous tribes, including the Jarawa, Onge, and Sentinelese tribes, who have lived on the islands for thousands of years. The islands were also used as a British penal colony in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and many historic landmarks from that time can still be seen today.
