Best time to visit…?

October to march in winter season is considered the best time to visit.

We started a 2 km walk around the sea and explored the marine life with our tour guide. Things that you must have with you is sunscreen lotion, dare not to go without it or you will return as a different person. As in most of the sun-kissed beaches, you will feel here the sun kissing you with its extreme heats…!

There is no organization of food and water at the island. you have to bring your own and if you are planning with any tour guide or operator make sure you clear all these things before departing.

One can see octopus, jelly fish, star fish, colourful corals, exotic marine flowering plants, puffer fish, sea horse, lobsters, etc. and if you are  lucky, maybe a dugong which resemble seals.

ringed by coral reefs, sandy beach and mangrove swamps, these islands are a treasure-trove of marine species.

waiting for our boats to sail us back to the destination from were we started.

One of My Friends once quoted “Treat life as a sea, heart as a shore and people like waves. It doesn’t matter how many waves are there? What matters is the one that touches the seashore”

This is what I learned by paying a visit to amazing Pirotan island. As a result travelling makes and further helps the individual and the society to be modest and open minded and hence the society is going to be one healthy place to live!!!
