Tour Packages in Baratang Island

Baratang Island lies 90 kilometers from the capital city, Port Blair. Grand Andaman Trunk Road is the gateway to enter the Northern Andamans, and one can reach the island via the same. The 2.5-hour-long journey splits into two phases—Port Blair to Jirkatang and Jirkatang to Bartang. Travelers can either choose government/private buses from the terminal or hire a taxi from the airport. The journey incorporates one short vehicle-ferry connection among the islands. The road cuts through a jungle that is home to the indigenous Jarawa tribe when travelling to Baratang from Jirkatang; hence, the vehicles are required to leave in convoys. A stretch of 49 kilometers of Jarawa Reserve Forest leads to Middle Strait Jetty, which transports one to the other side of the strait, which then leads to Baratang.
