What to Do in Little Andaman?
Little Andaman is full of options on how to actively spend your time. Surfing is definitely the most famous activity on the island. While it has always been known to surfing-pros it now also gaining popularity among locals and some Indian tourists. Some resorts are already renting outboards and offer training. Adrenaline junkies will be thrilled to know there are also plenty of trekking options on the island too. Lush jungles, palm plantations, and trails leading to spectacular waterfalls offer a tiring but exciting walk. White Surf waterfall is easily accessible, but for the bigger Whisper Wave waterfall, one has to indulge deeper in the jungle. Both are better visited in the dry season when there are fewer insects and no puddles and swamps.
Swimming in the freshwater is not advisable, as salt-water crocodiles have been spotted there several times.
Swimming in the sea, however, is a fine option. Deserted beaches with warm waters are welcoming. Special care is needed at some parts though, as the sea can be rough and the riptides strong. Turn away for too long and you may find yourself much further from the shore than you have imagined. Snorkeling is possible only on few beaches, like Harminder Bay Beach or near the jetty. On the other beaches, big waves and low visibility make it hard to snorkel. There is no dive center on Little Andaman. Game fishing is gaining popularity so some fishermen can take you along on their boats. Sunbathing and relaxing on the serene beaches is actually the toughest activity to pursue, because numerous sand flies are a problem, spoiling the otherwise perfect setup. If you have insect repellents, carry them along!
What to See in Little Andaman?
Little Andaman has plenty to offer, as the island is very diverse and huge. From Andamans best and deserted beaches to breath-taking waterfalls, mangrove forest trails to broad red oil plantations, damps, and ponds full of red carpet lotus flowers and water lilies in the rainy season. There is something to see and enjoy for everyone. Beach lovers are going to be thrilled to know Little Andaman has the longest beach on the whole Andaman islands. From Hut Bay to Butler Bay there is a 22 km long stretch of whitish sand beach with turquoise waters and green shade. Other fine options are Kalapathar Beach or Harminder Bay, which each offer a special bathing experience in the pools created at low tide. The journey itself is also visiting the highest lighthouse in the Andamans, climbing the top and enjoying the views of the island.
