The only Mud Volcano in India, Baratang Island in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Baratang Island in Andaman and Nicobar Islands is the only known examples of mud volcanoes in India. The Mud Volcano is about 10 minutes drive from Baratang Island. There are 11 Mud Volcano's reported so far in Andaman Group of Islands. Out of which 8 are located in Baratang and Middle Andaman. Remaining three are located in North Andaman Islands.

How Mud Volcano's are formed?
A mud volcano or mud dome is a land form created by the eruption of mud or slurries, water and gases. Several geological processes may cause the formation of mud volcanoes. The mud produced by mud volcanoes is mostly formed as hot water, which has been heated deep below the Earth's surface, begins to mix and blend with subterranean mineral deposits, thus creating the mud slurry exudates. This material is then forced upwards through a geological fault or fissure due to local subterranean pressure imbalances

Andaman is not just to explore the beaches and scuba diving.
A visit to the baratang island is worth as you can explore the beautiful Mud Volcano and the Lime stone caves.
