Narcondam Island

Located on the western side of the Indian Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Narcondam Island is a very tiny volcanic island which is still inhabited and is lately turning out to be a top tourist destination. Sprawling over a small 6.8 square kilometres, the island’s highest point is 710 m and it is formed of very igneous rock- andesite. It is mostly known for its dormant volcano that exists on the land.

Due to the existence of the volcano on Narcondam Island, it was left deserted and desolate for the longest period of time. But lately a lot of tourists are drawn to the place owing to its untouched and unexploited dense forests, crystal clear waters, uncommercialized beaches and the overall picturesque beauty. Due to the bounteous natural beauty, the place is also inhabited by several birds and boasts of a rich wildlife.
