Andaman island, which travel agencies?

I'm Italian and I'd like to reach Andaman island and to visit an Onge
or Jarawa village.
I'd like to sleep two or three days at that village. Is it possible?
Do you know some good travel agencies operating in Andaman island?
Thanks very much


bye Adriano

Most likely no. Access to these tribes is restricted by the government
for sociological reasons. You most likely may be able to arrange
something once you get there, but I'd speak to one of the several NGOs on
the island first to see which tribe would be best, from a social
non-disruptive POV. The Karens of Mayabunder would be one good choice,
off the top of my head.

There is one - Island Travel. I dont have their contact info off-hand,
but it is posted on my website (www.diveindia.com - it is a commercial
site for a dive shop, so be warned/full disclosure in advance). It is
also posted at www.wildorchidandaman.com.

They're very good at arranging flights in/out. I use them for my own
trips to the island, and they are able to put me on flights which have
extensive waiting lists. How they do it, I dont know - I merely lift my
glass to them in a silent toast.
