Barren Island is one of the most unique destinations in the Andaman Islands, famous for hosting India’s only active volcano. The island is uninhabited and cannot be explored on foot, but it can be witnessed during authorized boat excursions. Its rugged volcanic terrain, ash-covered slopes, and dramatic landscapes offer a rare glimpse into nature’s raw power, making it a truly unforgettable sight for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts.
The best time to visit is between October and April, when sea conditions are calmer and visibility is better.
