This trip begins early in the morning at around 4:00 AM from your hotel in Port Blair. The head start early in the morning is very much of a mandate as the tour requires permits and the vehicles depart in a convoy formation in the reserve forest enroute Baratang. The journey from Port Blair is through the NH4 and the Andaman Grand Trunk Road as you cross the Ferrargunj and Jirkatang check post. On covering about 40 odd kilometres of reserve forests after the Jirkatang check post you arrive at the Middle Strait Jetty to board a ferry to the Nilambur Jetty, the journey now has entered the Middle Andamans Tehsil. The fibre boats which have a seating capacity of 5-10 people take you to the Limestone Caves from the Nilambur Jetty/Baratang Jetty, which are the natural wonders caused due to the slow drippings of water. The journey through the thick mangrove vegetation by boat takes around 20 odd minutes one way. The limestone caves were created millions of years ago with water eroding the limestone rocks, hence littering and spoiling their integrity is strictly against the law. You can take your time exploring the stalactites and stalagmites formations and witness their shine as water drips through them and then head back on the same fibre boat back to the Baratang jetty to be ferried back to the mainland. You follow the same route to return back to Port Blair in the evening hours.
On this trip the key attraction are the tribal settlements in the Baratang Island as you get to witness the indigenous people of the Jarawa tribe.
Your journey starts with a pick-up from your hotel's lobby at around 4:30 AM in the morning. Undergo a short briefing session before starting your journey on the NH 4 or the Great Andaman Trunk Road.
After a drive of about 30 Kilometres you cross the Ferrargunj check post, continue another 15-16 kilometres on the same road to reach the Jirkatang check post where you will have to wait for about half an hour to an hour for your permits to be assigned.
We suggest you to get freshened up (if required) at the Jirkatang check post, as this point on you will be entering the reserve forests and in a convoy formation the vehicle will ply for around 40 odd kilometres without any stoppage enroute. Visitors are prohibited to get down from the vehicle during this part of the journey.
You can witness the tribal indigenous people enroute, the Jarawas.
This journey will come to a halt at the Middle Strait Jetty where you will be boarding a vehicle ferry to arrive at the Baratang Jetty also known as the Nilambur Jetty which is on the other side of the creek.
Arrive at the jetty and get freshened up before boarding a fibre boat to the Limestone Caves, the journey to the Limestone Caves is through the thick mangrove forests and takes around 20-25 minutes one way. On arrival at the Limestone Cave's jetty you will have to walk for another 1-1.2 kilometres on paved ways to reach the natural wonders.
Explore the caves for about an hour before boarding the same fibre boat to get back to the Baratang Jetty/Nilambur Jetty.
The vehicle ferry would transport you back to the Middle Strait Jetty for the journey back to Port Blair on the same route.
The trip concludes with a drop at the hotel in Port Blair.
