Welcome to the Land of Natural Wonders
Baratang Island in the A & N Islands is truly a land of natural wonders. These wonders starts from mud volcanoes, natural lime stone caves, lesser known exotic beaches, under water marine life to tropical rain forest.
Natural Lime Stone Caves
The lime stone caves, full of splendid stalagmites, stalactites and pillar rocks, can be accessed by a 40-minute boat ride through the creeks from the Nilambur Jetty. And about 15-minute trek further through village and forest. It gives an immense sense of adventure to the tourist.
Mud Volcano
A mud volcano is created by natural gases emitted by decaying organic matter underground. As the mud is pushed upwards by the gas, it deposits and hardens above ground. As more mud oozes out and spills over the edge it grows in size, gradually forming what you can see today – a miniature volcano with a rich, creamy mud crater at the top.
