Nicobar Islands

The Nicobar Islands are a group of small islands located in the eastern Indian Ocean, part of India’s Union Territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. They are known for their rich biodiversity, including unique wildlife and lush forests. The islands have a limited population, mostly made up of indigenous communities with distinct cultures. They are important ecologically and strategically, but access is restricted to protect the environment and indigenous peoples. The Nicobar Islands feature pristine beaches, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests, making them a significant natural habitat and a potential site for tourism and scientific research.
