📝 Description
Ross and Smith Islands are often called the "Twin Islands of Andaman" due to their unique formation — a narrow white sandbar connecting the two, surrounded by vibrant blue waters. The sandbar is submerged during high tide and visible during low tide, creating a surreal landscape that changes with the ocean’s rhythm.
Smith Island is known for its tropical forests, making it a great place for short treks, nature walks, and picnics under coconut palms. Basic eco-tourism facilities like benches and shade huts are available, offering a balance of comfort and natural beauty.
Ross Island, on the other hand, is mostly uninhabited and serene, with soft beaches and shallow waters perfect for snorkeling, shell collecting, and beach photography. The overall atmosphere here is peaceful, undisturbed by crowds or commercialization.
To visit these islands, travelers must obtain permits from the Forest Department, and boats are usually available from Aerial Bay Jetty in Diglipur. It’s advisable to plan a day trip and carry essentials like food, water, and sun protection.
