Parrot Island is a stunning and relatively unexplored destination located near Baratang Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. It is named after the hundreds of parrots that visit the island every evening, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The island is lush with mangrove forests, which serve as a breeding ground for these vibrant birds. The magical sight of parrots returning to the island at sunset after their day out is a unique natural phenomenon and is one of the most spectacular sights to witness. To reach Parrot Island, one must take a boat ride through the dense mangrove creeks from Baratang Jetty, which adds more adventure to the visit. The tranquil and serene environment, coupled with the rhythmic sounds of the birds, provides a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The island is remote and offers visitors an authentic experience of the untouched natural beauty of the Andamans.
