If you seek to get away from the hustle and bustle of your daily life and take a journey into a world of serenity, Middle Andaman Island is an unparalleled opportunity-one wherein lies rejuvenation, while one reflects upon the world outside. While Havelock and Neil Islands take away most crowds, Middle Andaman happens to be virgin ground when it comes to offering a serene milieu for rumination and relaxation.
Middle Andaman Island is an unspoiled retreat located right in the center of the Great Andaman group of islands. The island stretches over an area of 1,536 km² and lies just 73 kilometers away from Port Blair. Comparatively few travelers visit this part of the region. This is generally due to the fact that it allows one to take part in the ideal retreat for those seeking solitude and a deeper connection with nature.
The most feasible way to get to Middle Andaman is from Port Blair. You take the 6-7 hour drive by bus through to a quaint little town called Rangat in the heart of the island. It's an amazing drive because of the Jarawa reserves running along the length, offering you views of the island's wilderness with the turns on your path.
If one is already visiting other Andaman islands, such as Havelock, Neil, or Long Island, a speedboat to Middle Andaman could be another better option. This option will not only reduce the time taken for traveling but also give an opportunity to see the breathtaking waters and landscapes while on the way.
Rangat is a key town in Middle Andaman and is a tranquil getaway. This place is famous for its beach hopping and nature walks. The most important beaches and places of interest are as follows:
– Yerrata Mangrove Nature Walk: This is a tranquil pathway and a great opportunity to walk through the mangrove forests found in this region. The Mangrove Interpretation Centre offers informative insights into the local ecosystem, while the 13-metre-tall watchtower provides panoramic views of the surrounding mangroves and tropical forests.
– Amkunj Beach: This is a beach lying near the Andaman Trunk Road. It is mainly known for its eco-friendly log sofa and hut facilities. Although the beach is not much suitable for swimming due to coral rocks, it is still a good stopover where one can spend an atmosphere of serenity with wonderful views.
Island camping in Middle Andaman will be ideal for those who want a closer affinity with nature. Imagine being on a practically uninhabited beach, with emerald waters and greenery all around you, pitching a tent, and watching the sun go down to paint the horizon with shades that leave you agog and a night sky so star-studded that you have hardly ever seen. Camping here offers a chance to unplug from modern life and immerse in the natural splendour of this island.
Middle Andaman is the most fantastic destination for trekking enthusiasts. Panchavati Hills waterfall is one such trekking route that enables you to trek the island for its diversified flora and serene landscape. The trek has been graded easy for non-professional trekkers who take this trek to see the marvellous waterfall. One should wear decent hiking shoes with them, along with water, energy bars, and, of course, a camera.
Middle Andaman offers a plethora of wildlife and nature's splendour, which also includes:
The rather elusive Barking Deer and agile Palm Civet can be spotted. Other animals to make the island home include the Andaman Spiny Shrew, Andaman Wild Pig, and Chital.
Surrounding waters are visited by the majestic Blue Whales, Sperm Whales, and playing Common Dolphins.
A dream of any bird watcher comes true when the Andaman Tree Pie, Andaman Wood Pigeon, Cotton Teal, White-Bellied Sea Eagle, and Swiftlets are spotted.
The reptile watchers will find Andaman Banded Krait, Leatherback Turtle, Green Sea Turtle, and Hawksbill Turtle. Be careful around the waters because Saltwater Crocodiles and Water Monitor Lizards are found too.
The best time to visit Middle Andaman falls between October and March. The weather in these months is congenial, and one can enjoy seeing the natural beauty of the island with all the fun. The summer season extends from March to June when it is really hot.
From June to September, heavy rainfall occurs along with strong winds during the monsoon period, which may affect your traveling schedule.
Book your accommodation and transport well in advance with Andaman Excursion to save yourself from last-minute hassles.
Bring appropriate clothes considering the weather conditions of the place, along with basic requirements like sunscreen, insect repellent, and comfortable footwear. If you plan to camp there, then packing camping gear and other accessories is vital.
While exploring, one is bound to be sensitive to the environment. Avoid littering and disturb only that much amount of wildlife from a respectful distance.
You may seek the services of local guides to provide deeper insights into island culture and natural phenomena in order to enhance your experience.
