6 islands on Earth you can never visit – one is in India
These days, it feels like almost every place on Earth has been mapped,
tagged, and turned into content. With travel hacks, endless reels, and
influencer itineraries flooding our feeds, you'd think there's nowhere you
can’t go. But a few islands around the world are still completely off-limits–
not because they’re far, but because people just aren’t allowed there.
Some are sealed off to protect fragile environments. Others have dark pasts or
dangers that keep visitors out. A few are simply private and have stayed that
way for generations. No permits, no tourist passes, and no guided tours– just
strict lines that you can’t cross.
Here are six islands that remain out of reach– places you’ll likely only ever
see in pictures. Note: The images used in this article are generated by Canva
