But with that, there are also some rules and restrictions that travellers must adhere to, and trying to override them can have grave consequences.
An American adventurer has been killed by an isolated Indian island tribe known to shoot at outsiders with bows and arrows.
Pathak identified the American as John Allen Chau and said he told a hotel he was 26 years old.
Local media have reported that Chau may have wanted to meet the tribe to preach Christianity to them.
"[Chau] tried to reach the Sentinel Island on November 14 but could not make it".
"Two days later he went well prepared", they said.
Chau made two or three trips to the island by canoe from November 15, making contact with the tribe but returning to his boat, Pathak said.
Chau was apparently shot and killed by arrows, but the cause of death can't be confirmed until his body is recovered, Pathak told The Associated Press. "In the morning of November 17, they saw a dead person being buried at the shore which from the silhouette of the body, clothing and circumstances appeared to be the body of Chau", the release said clearly defining the circumstances leading to Chau's death, nearly five days after the incident.
But on the morning of the following day, the waiting fishermen saw from a distance his body being dragged by tribesmen. It was not his first time in the region: he had visited the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in 2015 and 2016.
Two Indian fisherman fishing illegally off North Sentinel Island were also killed by the tribe in 2006.
Police arrested the seven fishermen and charged them with endangering the life of the American by taking him to a prohibited area, Pathak said.
The Sentinelese tribe is known to resist any kind of outside contact and has turned hostile everytime any outside entity has tried to reach out to them.
Duke Has Lost Its First Game Of The 2018-19 Season
Chants of "We want Duke, we want Duke", rang out from the raucous Gonzaga fan base as the final minute of action finished. Barrett, forcing him into a hard shot and then blocking the Canadian freshman at the rim as he looked to tie the game.
What Is The Police Doing?
Mr. Chau allegedly paid fishermen $325 to take him to the island.
Police have registered a case of murder and seven accused persons have been arrested. Reportedly, their population varies from 15 to 150 people and have remained untouched from past 60,000 years.
John Chau, 27, was surrounded and killed by tribal fighters, who fiercely defend their island paradise on the Andaman Sea, official sources told AFP. The islands have gone.
Since the Indian authorities keep away from the island, it was unclear whether Chau's killing will have legal repercussions.
"I have been so nice to them, why are they so angry and so aggressive?" the source quoted Chau as saying. He is some kind of paramedic. But in a strict sense, he was not a missionary. Police are in possession of 13 pages of notes Chau had scribbled and handed over to the fishermen before he rowed to the island.
The Indian government adopted a policy of "isolation with minimal intervention" toward the Sentinelese and several other tribes in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which are located in the Bay of Bengal off the eastern coast of India.
The tribe have their own system and have no need for any other religion then why would you take up such an ill-advised trip to try and convert them to some other religion? They have never been contacted by outside world for thousands of years. The tribes people have previously fired arrows at unwelcome visitors.
"There has been no contact with them to the best of what I know".
What do you think, was what Mr. Chau did right?
"North Sentinelese are the only isolated tribe of the world".
