What is a Yatra?
A yatra is, at its core, a spiritual pilgrimage. Rooted in ancient traditions, it encourages you to slow down, dwell in nature, and cultivate mindful presence in every step. In this Andaman Sea Yatra, you will travel consciously across islands and coastal communities, weaving together the stories of the ocean and the people who live by its tides.
This is more than an adventure—it’s an invitation to awaken your relationship with the earth, the sea, and yourself.
Highlights of the Journey:
– Gratitude to the Ocean: Begin with a heartfelt ceremony to honor the waters and explore pristine coral reefs.
– Sea Gypsy Livelihood: Engage with nomadic sea gypsies and learn about their unique ways of life.
– Ocean and Art of Living: Explore how humans both protect and harm the ocean while enjoying island artistry and local crafts.
– Nature-based Solutions: See firsthand how Andaman communities respond to climate change through sustainable and nature-rooted practices.
Accommodation
This journey embraces simplicity and sustainability in every detail. You’ll stay in tented beach camps, homestays with local families, and eco-conscious hotels that have minimal impact on the environment. From nights under the stars in Mu Ko Surin National Park to experiencing local hospitality on the island of Koh Klang, each accommodation is chosen to support sustainable practices and immerse you in the natural beauty and local culture of the Andaman coast.
What to Bring:
