Today, people of all faiths live here
Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikh and of course the tribals. This amazing linguistic and
racial mix has resulted in a culture that is innately hospitable and uniquely
distinctive.
For the nature lover the islands offer rich and varied delights. The
sea around offers ample scope for water sports while the islands
themselves consist of their territory ush green forest cover extending
over 86% of the territory. The rarest of rare flora and fauna have
flourished undisturbed on these islands, more so because 36 out of these are inhabited.
Adventure sports like trekking, island camping, snorkelling and scuba diving are the not to be
missed attractions. And for tourists who want to get away from the
madding crowd, a visit to these islands remains etched in the memory forever.
