Andaman redwood trees in the Cinque Islands, south of Rutland Island, in the southern Andamans, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India.
Transportation within the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is facilitated by both maritime and aerial services:
- Boat Travel: An interisland boat and steamer service connects the territorial capital, Port Blair, with the North, Middle, South, and Little Andaman islands.12
- Air Travel: Air service is available from Port Blair, providing connections to the northern and southern regions of the Indian mainland.1
While Port Blair and Diglipur serve as important harbors for the islands, paved road infrastructure is primarily concentrated on South Andaman.12
