Geographically east of the Indian mainland, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands float in beautiful isolation in the Bay of Bengal. These lovely undulating islands, or islets, which number around 836, were once a hill range that stretched from Myanmar to Indonesia. They are now covered in deep, wet, evergreen forests and an unending variety of exotic flora and wildlife. About 550 of these islands, 28 of which are inhabited, are in the Andaman Group. There are 22 main islands in the more compact Nicobars (10 inhabited). The 150 km wide Ten Degree Channel divides the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
