Baratang Island  Neil Island- Vegetable Bowl

Baratang Island is full of natural wonders and is well-known for quite a few things: its limestone caves, dense mangrove forests, and mud volcanoes. The concept of a trip to Baratang becomes adventure personified. One would travel through the Jarwa Reserve where one may get to see the native Jarwa tribe. However, interaction with the tribe is not allowed so that their privacy could be respected and their culture and ways of livelihood protected. 

A ride through the creeks in mangroves will take you to the caves of limestone, where beautiful natural shapes of stalactites and stalagmites can be observed. The mud volcano, which again forms part of the special avatar of Baratang, is the rare phenomenon of nature where because of gasses under the surface, hot mud comes out of the earth.
