Thoughtfully designed day-by-day plans to experience the soul of Andaman at your own pace.
Emerald Islands of the Bay of Bengal
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands have a unique history dating back to the 18th century when they were a British penal colony. The infamous Cellular Jail in Port Blair, with its haunting solitary confinement cells, stands as a testament to this dark past. Today, the islands are a haven for beach lovers and adventure seekers. With crystal-clear waters, powdery white sand beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, Havelock Island and Neil Island are perfect spots for snorkeling, diving, and simply soaking up the sun. As you explore the islands, you'll experience a blend of Indian and British influences in the architecture, cuisine, and culture. The islands' remote location and limited accessibility have helped preserve their natural beauty and unique charm.
