10North Sentinel Island, India

North Sentinel Island, part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal, is home to the Sentinelese people, one of the last remaining uncontacted tribes in the world. The Indian government has strictly prohibited visits to the island to protect both the tribe and outsiders.

The Sentinelese have maintained their isolation for centuries, resisting contact with the outside world and displaying hostility toward intruders. Their isolation is vital for preserving their way of life and protecting them from diseases to which they have no immunity.
