Baratang Island & Limestone caves

Baratang Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located between the Middle and South Andaman Islands. Approximately, 110 km from Port Blair, Baratang is another major attraction for most of the tourist visiting the islands. Baratang is famous for its natural wonders; from impressive Limestone Caves Baratang and dense mangrove creeks. There are tidal swamp forests and small but fascinating Mud Volcanoes. It is the first gateway up north from the capital city, located between the Middle and South of Andaman. The Baratang Island trip is considered to be an adventurous one day trip due to its long distance from the capital town of Port Blair
