  1. Nice pics. visit the vegetable basin of the Andamans with its scenic sandy beaches.Enjoy utter bliss in the Panchavati waterfalls or the marvellous Amkunj beach en route to Cutbert bay. Visit Karmatang beach,a turtle breeding ground. The beach located at Butler Bay is a good place to watch waterfalls, oil palm farms. For more details refer andaman islands
