At the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are an Indian union territory with 572 islands, 38 of which are inhabited.
The Andaman Sea separates the area from Thailand and Myanmar, around 150 kilometres (93 miles) north of Aceh, Indonesia. To the east is the Andaman Sea, and to the west is the Bay of Bengal. The Arakan Mountains are assumed to be submerged in the island chains.
The city of Port Blair serves as the territory's capital. The islands' total land area is approximately 8,249 km (3,185 sq mi). The region is divided into three districts: the Nicobar District, which is headquartered on Car Nicobar, the South Andaman District, which is headquartered on Port Blair, and the North and Middle Andaman District, which is headquartered on Mayabunder.
The Sentinelese people, an in-contacted tribe, live on the Andaman Islands. The Sentinelese may be the only people known to have not progressed beyond Paleolithic technology; however this is debatable because metalwork has been discovered on their island.
Because of the appeal of beaches and adventure activities like snorkeling and sea-walking, tourism to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is booming. In Avis Island, Smith Island, and Long Island, luxury resorts with government involvement are being planned. At Cellular Jail, there is a statue of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.
