White Surf and Whisper Wave waterfalls
White Surf Waterfall is a serene cascade set inside the moist tropical forests of Little Andaman. The falls drop over layered granite into a clear plunge pool surrounded by lush vegetation and smooth, white-rock channels that give the waterfall its name. The approach combines a short walk through secondary jungle and a gentle stream crossing, making it accessible for most visitors with moderate mobility.
