A brief overview on North Andamans: Know more about the rugged terrains of Mayabunder and Diglipur

Geographically speaking, the North Andamans are distinguished by lush forests, mangrove swamps, and breathtaking coastlines. The Saddle Peak, the highest peak in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is located in this area and provides stunning views of the surrounding lushness. Mangrove environments are found in abundance along the coast, offering refuge to uncommon species of fish and plants, such as saltwater crocodiles. Due to its closeness to the equator, North Andaman has year-round mild temperatures in a tropical climate. The regions which come under North Andmans are Diglipur and Mayabunder.

North Andaman has a long and illustrious history. For thousands of years, native tribes including the Great Andamanese, Onge, and Jarawa have lived on the islands and preserved their own customs and civilizations. A major change occurred with the entry of European colonists in the 18th century. The islands were subsequently ruled by several different nations before joining independent India in 1947. Due to the isolation of the area, the native population has managed to preserve its cultural legacy, including its old customs and ceremonies.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands Administration, which falls under the control of the Indian government, is in charge of managing the administration in North Andaman. The administration headquarters is located at Mayabunder. The administrative center of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is located at Port Blair, the capital city. Elected politicians and administrative representatives help to facilitate local administration by addressing the particular issues that the islands face, such as sustainable development, conservation, and the preservation of indigenous traditions.

Finally, North Andaman serves as a reminder of how history and nature can coexist. In the Bay of Bengal, a region of unmatched beauty and cultural significance is created by the convergence of its breathtaking terrain and rich history.
