With their white sand beaches and overwhelming air of tranquillity, the beautiful Andaman and Nicobar Islands is an archipelago consisting of 572 paradise islands and islets covering an area of over 800kms in the Bay of Bengal.  Their capital Port Blair, is now considered one of the foremost popular holiday destinations in the world, with snorkelling, scuba diving and trekking just a few of the many activities on offer.  I recommend for those wishing to know more to visit http://tourism.andaman.nic.in/welcome.html, an informative site which not only tells you more about the island, its history and its people, but the myriad of reasons why these islands make the perfect holiday destination. Enjoy!
