Situated in the Bay of Bengal is the breathtakingly beautiful archipelago called the Andaman Islands of India.

The Andaman Islands are known to be the home of the Sentinelese people. This tribe has no contact with mankind. It is a restricted area for the trespassers and people here are nomads still living on raw meat and with scantily or unclad bodies.
