Baratang island day trip | Jarawa forest | Limestone caves | mud volcano |

Hello Everyone, I am Aftab,
In this video, I am going to Baratang island for a day trip from Port Blair through the south Andaman forest reserve which is home town to the Jarawa tribes of Andaman.
On Baratang island we will be visiting the Mangroves forest, limestone caves, and mud volcano.
This is the last video of the Andaman series, in this entire series, I will share things to do in Andaman, covering the major islands of Andaman including Port Blair, Havelock Island, Neil Island, and Baratang Island.
Baratang is famous for its natural wonders; from impressive Limestone Caves and dense mangrove creeks. There are tidal swamp forests and small but fascinating Mud Volcanoes. It is the first gateway up north from the capital city, located between the Middle and South of Andaman. Due to its distance from Port Blair (approximately 100 km), it is a popular one-day trip destination, especially for those who come with limited time on hand.
How to Reach Baratang?
The best and most convenient way to reach Baratang is by hiring a private vehicle/car or a private AC bus. If you are looking to reach Baratang most cost-effectively, taking a government bus from Port Blair is your best bet.
Two-wheelers are not allowed to go all the way to Baratang. You will have to travel through the ‘Andaman Trunk Road’ (ATR) and move in a convoy with one short vehicle-ferry connection among the islands. This is a four-hour bumpy ride but the lush jungles and blue waters can make the drive quite interesting.
One point to note here is that one can spot a few Jarawas on the way. The ATR cuts through the jungle that is home to the indigenous Jarawa tribe and many tribals people wait on the sides of the road to cross to the other side. Interacting with them, giving them food, gifts, or even clicking their pictures is NOT allowed. One can be fined and imprisoned for the same.
Things to do in Baratang
1. Visit Limestone Caves
The Limestone cave formations at Nayadera and the vast mangrove-covered creeks are the main attractions for tourists in Baratang. The island is known for limestones, which deposit themselves either above the soil or under the ground forming interesting formations and layers.
On the way, you can admire scenic coastline covered with mangrove forests and you even pass through mangrove-covered canals making the ride more exciting.
Once you reach the wooden jetty at Nayadera you will have to walk down for about 1.2kms to view this beauty of nature. The walls of caves here are covered with massive formations dangling from the ceiling like chandeliers. The water is constantly dripping from the ceiling making the stalactites and stalagmites shine and glow.
2. See the Mud Volcano
A short ride from the Baratang jetty and another 160 meters walk up a rocky path are what it takes to reach the mud volcanoes. These small muddy craters are created by natural gases emitted by decaying organic matter underground that push mud upwards.
How to get there: No special permits are required for visiting the mud volcano. But if you do decide to visit this attraction and you are not on a tight schedule try to catch a local bus from the jetty in direction of Baludera beach - it will save you money. The public jeep however will be faster and will cost you around 200 per person.
