Why Andaman Islands

The Andaman Islands sit far out in the Bay of Bengal, a scatter of forested islands ringed by coral and white sand. Port Blair anchors the archipelago with the Cellular Jail's wartime history, while Havelock's Radhanagar Beach and Neil Island's shallow lagoons draw travellers for snorkelling, scuba diving and slow beach days. Inter-island travel runs on government and private ferries, so itineraries are paced around sailing schedules rather than road drives.

  • Radhanagar Beach sunsets on Havelock (Swaraj Dweep)
  • Scuba diving and snorkelling over Andaman's coral reefs
  • Cellular Jail light and sound show, Port Blair
  • Neil Island's (Shaheed Dweep) Bharatpur and Laxmanpur beaches
  • Glass-bottom boat rides at North Bay and Ross Island
  • Government ferry hopping between Port Blair, Havelock and Neil
