The small island in the Bay of Bengal has thick forests and a coral reef that surrounds the entire area, making it almost impossible to reach to the island. But, this is not the reason why people cannot go to the North Sentinel Island; actually, the area is inhabited by an indigenous population who has completely rejected all contacts from the outside world. They are one of the last communities of people in the world who have remained untouched by the modern world and civilization around them. Known as the Sentinelese, these people attack anyone who tries to come anywhere close to their island even. The tribe reportedly killed two fishermen in 2008, who had accidentally come close to the island in their boat.
