The Great Nicobar Island is where a large variety of wildlife thrives, splendidly segregated from the rest of the Nicobar Islands by the six-degree channel. The submarine life along the innumerable isolated beaches is indescribably beautiful. Most of the nicer beaches with clear water ranging in colour from pale lime to cobalt blue are found on the relatively more isolated western coast of these islands. Even if most of these islands are inhabited by the tribal population its worth an adventure.
