    Destination

    Baratang Island is everything that defines the sun, sea and sand experience of the Andaman Islands. Despite being the home of pristine beaches, tropical jungles, chirping birds and beautiful mangroves, Baratang Island remains a little-known destination in the Andamans belt. Your destination on this trek, the limestone caves are located deep in the forest, close to the coast. The caves feature unusual formations of rock, made from the minerals of limestone and calcite.
