Baratang is the Andamans' adventure day-trip, a green island north of Port Blair known for its limestone caves, mud volcano and mangrove creeks. The journey itself is memorable, a road drive through Jarawa tribal reserve followed by a speedboat glide through dense mangroves. Because part of the route crosses a tribal reserve, a forest/area permit is arranged locally, which we help coordinate. It is a full-day excursion best started very early from Port Blair.

Why visit Baratang

Baratang delivers the Andamans' most unusual sights in a single day: limestone caves, a bubbling mud volcano and a thrilling mangrove boat ride. It is a real change of pace from the archipelago's beaches.

How to reach

Baratang is a road-and-boat trip roughly 100 km north of Port Blair, involving a timed convoy through the Jarawa reserve and a speedboat through mangrove creeks. An early start, usually before dawn, is essential to catch the convoy.

Permits & the tribal reserve

Because the route crosses a tribal reserve, a forest or area permit is arranged locally, which we help coordinate for you. Travellers must stay in the convoy and never interact with or photograph the Jarawa community.

Best time to visit

October to May is ideal, with calmer creeks and clearer roads. Heavy monsoon rain can make the drive and boat ride harder between June and September.

Who it suits

Baratang is perfect for curious, active travellers who enjoy an adventurous day out over a lazy beach day. The long journey means it best suits those with a spare full day in Port Blair.

Good to know

It is a long day, so carry water, snacks and motion-sickness precautions for the boat. Mobile signal is limited en route, and the caves involve a short walk over uneven ground.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.

Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.

The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
