Experience Andamans With Neil Standard (Oct-Mar 2018)

Main Info

DESCRIPTION
Andaman
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, a group of 572 islands & islets spread like a broken chain of pearls over Bay of Bengal covering an area of 8249 sq.km. The archipelago of Andaman and Nicobar Islands celebrate serene solitude at its dense forests, exotic floral beds and stretches of silvery sand beaches. Over a distance of 780kms of ocean from North to South, the island, although a Union Territory of India, is very close to Rangoon (Burma), Phuket (Thailand), Malaysia & Sumatra. Port Blair Port Blair, the capital city is a bustling overgrown town of immense historical importance. The famous Cellular Jail (that housed Indian freedom fighters during the struggle for independence) draws hundreds on visitors and is perhaps the most visited monument in the Andamans. Havelock With one of the Andaman’s most dazzling beaches and plenty of cheap bamboo-hut accommodation, Havelock is the island of choice for travellers wanting to kick back and enjoy the slow (but not comatose) pace of island life. It’s easily accessible from Port Blair, and offers excellent snorkelling and scuba-diving opportunities. Although Havelock is the most developed of the islands, it’s still very low-key and simple a world away from the beach resorts of mainland India or Southeast Asia.
