This boat had completely gone un-noticed during my boat safari through the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park as it was tied to the rear end of the ferry.
I noticed this small glass boat only when we got ready to board it to cover the final stretch of shallow waters. The view was so tempting that I decided to capture this all blue combination in my lens.
I spotted this sign on the waters of the marine national park in the Andaman Islands of India. It was in the middle of nowhere and hence caught everyone’s attention.
It was only after a conversation with the boat man that I found that this sign was supposed to attract attention as the waters below it were occupied by rocks and hence not safe for large boats.
The Andaman Islands of India is a very well known tropical paradise. But, if you were to find a place that is truly heaven in this tropical paradise, then you need to pay a visit to the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park.
This Marine National Park is located in South Andaman and its peripheral point, Wandoor, can be approached by road from Port Blair.
Tourists require permits to visit this national park and such permits can be procured at the Wandoor forest office or through travel agents from Port Blair.
Once permits are arranged, you can go on a boat cruise through this lovely national park that comprises of emerald waters, pristine surroundings, truly tall tropical rain forests and unlimited stretches of mangroves.
It is totally refreshing just to soak in these sights. This place is definitely heavenly!
Jolly Buoy Island of the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park houses the perfect ecosystem for hermit crabs and other other tidal pool marine creatures.
All you need to do is walk along the beach to find scores of such hermit crabs living in sea shells of various sizes, shapes and colours.
On hardly finds a single hermit crab in other beaches across India and to see them in such rich numbers is a very pleasant sight. These good numbers speak of the great environmental health of this marine national park.
I guess due credit should go to the national park authorities for allowing marine creatures to live comfortably in their home and have every day as a field day.
Finding a virgin beach stretch in today’s ear is a very rare phenomenon. But, I guess all of us get very excited when we end up spotting one.
I went through a similar state of elation when I located such virgin beach stretches at the Jolly Buoy Island. The Jolly Buoy Island is a small dot in the map of the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park in the Andaman Islands of India.
This beach looked like it had hardly been trodden. It was clean in all directions. The ecosystem was so pure that sea snails were having a field day here. One could also spot flying fish from this beach.
And, the huge tropical trees by the beach side added to its aura. Some of its lagoons exuded a paradise look.
These beautiful scenes captivated me so much that I had to stayed here for a longer while, I would have attained a state of nirvana.
This is for all those people out there who wish to live their dream, but for some reason choose not to…Hopefully, this post will charge your...
