Little Andaman Island, situated 125 kilometers south of the South Andaman Island by sea from Port Blair. Little Andaman Island is the fourth largest island in Andaman and Nicobar. There are daily packaged tours that take visitors from Port Blair to the Little Andaman Island.
The island is covered in rainforests and if visitors are lucky, they may even spot some marine turtles out on the beach! Waterfalls dot the island here and there, adding to the island’s beauty.
