One of the most fascinating destinations in Andamans, Baratang is certainly known for its unspoilt beauty but it has been able to allure travellers mostly because of its native Jarawa tribe that was once quite aggressive. Today, Baratang has become one of the eco-friendly zones to visit in India where only those travellers visit or should visit those who understand about the sustenance of tribals and their culture. Dense forest, tribes, mangroves, Dongi rides, beaches, birds, caves and trekking are the major attractions in Baratang but I would recommend this destination to those newlyweds/couples who has deeper comprehension of nature and its value.
