About Andaman
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are India's most unexpected treasure — 572 islands in the Bay of Bengal, where Radhanagar Beach has repeatedly been named Asia's best. Below the surface, coral gardens rival the Maldives. Cellular Jail in Port Blair whispers of freedom fighters who endured solitary confinement to earn India's independence.

Things to do
Radhanagar Beach, Havelock
Consistently ranked Asia's best beach — 2 km of powdery white sand backed by dense tropical forest.
Scuba Diving & Snorkelling
Elephant Beach and Neil Island have house reefs with sea turtles, rays, and untouched coral at 5 m depth.
Cellular Jail Light & Sound
The colonial prison where India's freedom fighters were exiled. The evening show is profoundly moving.
Glass-Bottom Boat Ride
Float over living coral reefs at North Bay Island without getting wet — perfect for non-swimmers.
Baratang Limestone Caves
A jungle boat ride through mangroves leads to cathedral-like limestone caves with stalactite formations.
Neil Island
Quieter than Havelock — rent a bicycle, cycle to Natural Bridge rock, and eat fresh-caught grilled fish.
What makes it special
Andamanese Seafood
Freshly caught red snapper, barracuda, and lobster at jetty-side eateries. Order it grilled with coconut chutney.
Bioluminescent Plankton
Certain beaches glow electric blue at night when microalgae are disturbed. Best seen at Havelock.
Sea Walking
Walk the seabed at 5 m depth wearing a diving helmet — no training needed, open to anyone.
Island Hopping by Ferry
Government ferries connect Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island. The sunrise crossings are stunning.
