Day 4- Baratang, Limestone Cave & Mud Volcano.. and Finally Jarwa's (Journey to Andaman and Nicobar Island's)

We left early morning @ 4 am today, to travek to Baratang Island - crossed a dense mango creek by boat to reach the limestone caves ( amazing wonder of nature- there were massive limestone formations.. some hanging from the roof like chandeliers.. some jutting out from the sides of the caves... others growing from the floor....a sight to watch... Then to the mud volcano before heading back ... We crossed the Jarwa Reserves - ( They are indigenous tribes - the officials informed there are only 190 odd remaining & and have walked these islands for close to few thousand years).... The journey to Baratang itself was enchanting... a boat ride..through the ocean.. tiny islands all over... and massive dense forests.... makes us wonder... what we are missing staying in concrete jungles...
