Baratang Island Andaman

Why Visit Baratang?

Baratang truly is the "wild child" of the Andaman Islands. While everyone else is lounging on the white sands of Havelock, the trek to Baratang feels like stepping into a National Geographic documentary. From boating through thick mangrove forests to hiking toward limestone caves, every part of this island is an adventure. It’s also the only place in India where you can witness natural mud volcanoes.

The Mud Volcano - As you noted, this is a geological rarity in India. Don’t expect a towering, lava-spewing mountain—these are small, bubbling craters that hiss and ooze cold mud. It’s a fascinating look at the Earth's subterranean pressure and methane gases in action.

Ideal for explorers and nature lovers, Baratang is a great addition to any Andaman itinerary — especially for travelers who want to discover something beyond beaches.
