Neil Island is a tiny but beautiful island located 40 kms east of Port Blair, the capital of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. With unexplored coral reefs, brilliant bio-diversity, white sandy beaches and tropical forest and vegetation, it is one of the hot tourist spots in the Andamans. Neil Island was uninhabited until the arrival of settlers in the late 1960s. Like Havelock, the vast majority of settlers at Neil were refugees from erstwhile Bangladesh, following the exodus of Hindu Bangladeshi’s prior to that country’s war of independence in 1971.
