Little Andaman

Little Andaman, located at the southern end of the Andaman archipelago, is one of the lesser-known and more remote islands of the Andaman and Nicobar group. It’s the fourth largest island in the Andaman Islands and offers a blend of pristine beaches, waterfalls, and dense rainforests, making it an appealing destination for those seeking peace and natural beauty away from the crowds.

• Butler Bay Beach: The most popular beach on Little Andaman, Butler Bay is a crescent-shaped stretch of sand that offers good opportunities for surfing, swimming, and sunbathing. It is often considered one of the best surfing spots in India, with waves ideal for both beginners and experienced surfers.
• Hut Bay: The entry point to Little Andaman, Hut Bay is the island’s primary port and a small town. The surrounding beach is calm and serene, perfect for relaxation.
• Netaji Nagar Beach: A quieter, less crowded beach, ideal for a peaceful escape. It’s known for its scenic beauty and is great for long walks.
• Whisper Wave Waterfall: Nestled deep in the island’s rainforest, Whisper Wave Waterfall is a hidden gem that offers a refreshing experience for trekkers. The surrounding forest is rich in biodiversity, and the journey to the falls is an adventure in itself.
• White Surf Waterfall: Located around 6 km from Hut Bay, this waterfall is a popular tourist attraction. Surrounded by lush greenery, it provides a beautiful picnic spot and a chance to swim in the natural pools formed by the waterfall.

Little Andaman offers a unique, untouched experience with its mix of natural beauty, adventure activities, and peaceful beaches. It’s an excellent destination for travelers looking to explore the Andamans beyond the more commercialized islands.

Culture and People:

• The island is home to both indigenous tribes and settlers from mainland India. The Onges, one of the indigenous tribes of the Andamans, inhabit parts of the island, but access to their territory is restricted to protect their culture and way of life.
• The island has a slow pace of life, and tourism is not as developed as in Havelock or Port Blair, making it ideal for those seeking a more off-the-beaten-path experience.
