Detail InformationEdit

Limestone caves in Nayadera of Baratang Island are one of the major attractions of the region. A great natural wonder that draws of many visitors to Baratang. We started early morning as there are 3 timing to cross the forest which are the home of Jarwa Tribes. These tribes live in reserved dense forest areas and occasionally come out on roads. Interaction with the tourists is totally prohibited and filming them in any manner is punishable under the law. We were escorted by Police while crossing the forest. All the vehicles travel together with a speed limit of 40 and regular police patrolling happens to ensure the safety of tourist from the jarwa tribes. The site is reachable by sea within 50 mins. Regular boat services are available from Baratang and the boat trip through the middle of the mangrove forest is simply awesome. Each group was given a name and was led by guide.
