The fallen at Sitapur

^{Located on the southern tip of Neil Island, Sitapur beach is surrounded by greenery from 3 sides which opens into a wonderful view of the open sea on the other. It gets little attention from tourists and the beach is well-preserved and quite raw in the sense of nature and wildlife. The Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004 wreaked havoc on this tiny island and may trees on its shores, bore the brunt. Trees were uprooted and fell onto the beaches and lie there to this day, a testament to the horrors of the day. Light pollution at the beach is minimal and with open views to the south, is an ideal place for milky way astrophotography.}
