Dies ist unsere erste Reise auf die Andamanen in 2003.
Die Andamanen und Nicobaren sind indisches Territorialgebiet.
Ureinwohner der Inseln sind negride, indigene Völker. Weniger als 1000 gibt es noch, sie leben abgeschirmt auf den entlegenen Inseln.
Port Blair: 75.000 Menschen, die Meisten sind bengalische Siedler
Cellualar Jail: Ist eine Nationale Indische Gedenkstätte
Havelock Island: Schöne Strände und unerforschte Tauchgründe in einer intakten Unterwasserwelt. Radhanagar Beach - Beach #7 - Vom Time Magazine in 2004 zum besten Strand Asiens gewählt.
Am Sonntag, den 26. Dezember 2004 dann das Unfassbare. Ausgelöst durch ein Erdbeben der Stärke 9 rast ein Tsunami über Küsten der 600 Km entfernten Andamanen.

hey can you please tell me the place where u were put up [Huts]

[Morusmedienpool]

This was years ago and things might have changed.

I´m sure you will find such a nice place to stay, when you

travel to the A&N Islands!

[Simpsoniukas]

Sorry to bother you, did you get the Restricted Area permit on arrival or was it included in your visa (my visa does not have a permit)? Also did you get in the airport or the port?

[Morusmedienpool]

Hi, there ;-) -> we got the India visa, that included the A&N Islands for a 15 day visit. Then we flew from Germany via Madras to Port Blair. At the Airport, we got the Restricted Area Permit and enlarged it to 30 days max. This may be different now !!, you better ask the India Embassy. This is much better than getting stuck.

Have an exiting time !

[Musa Ahmed]

great video! thanks! how safe and secured the place is?

[Morusmedienpool]

Thanks for the nice comment. Yes - this is one of the most beautiful and exciting places we ever traveled to. In 2005 - after the Tsunami - we went there again to see what happened to our friends. We did another documentary about the A&N Islands. You can find it on our channel.

They don't even closely resemble tribes of Southeast days or South Asia, but a hybrid it Southeast and South Asian

[pushkaraj Gurjar]

It has definitely changed a lot...lot of options to stay..from small huts to luxury resorts..recently travelled..such a serene, peaceful place..

[Angelic Stormz]

The language is so beautiful. Is it similar to the Sari/Suri of coastal Odissa?

[Sunil Kumar]

a request to all the tourists and citizens of A&N islands. I AGREE WITH daggyyz1959. This place is being wrecked by the increasing population of the outsiders that come and settle here!! The land here is less and the population is increasing! People are cutting down the dense forests and constructing houses; two three houses for each family! i dont understand how can people be so selfish!! please save my Andaman! its losing its forests, cleanliness and natural beauty!!

[daggyz1959]

The Andamans has been taken over by descendants of the Indian convicts and encroached on native tribal grounds. Even ignoring laws passed to protect them. The Indians should never have been handed The Andamans, they don't belong to them. They should be released back to the natives and everyone else leave.
