9. Rangat (Middle Andaman)

Rangat serves as a quieter base in the Middle Andaman for exploring mangrove forests, small waterfalls, and local markets where you can find snacks and fresh produce. The island offers a midway feel between South and North Andaman, with reasonable road connections and simpler tourism infrastructure. Stay options include family-run guesthouses and basic hotels, usually affordable at USD 25–60 (≈ INR 2,050–4,920) per night. Day trips from Rangat can cover nearby natural spots and quiet beaches; arrange local transport in advance as public services may be infrequent. The area is good for travellers seeking gentle nature walks, birdwatching, and a local rhythm away from busier resort hubs. Always follow local guidance on protected areas and avoid leaving litter on beaches or in forests.
