If you are looking for a change of weather, the Andamans might be the right place for you. The blend of pristine waters and the inexplicably gorgeous beaches is just what you need to recharge your batteries, not to forget the delicious seafood. You can also indulge yourself in diving or sportfishing if that’s what suits you. While you travel through the Indian archipelago, we suggest you visit these top five places:
Diglipur: It is the largest town in North Andaman Island. While you’re here, you can see the Ross n Smith islands, which are the most distinctive twin islands here. You can also see the saddle peak, the highest peak of the entire Andaman archipelago.
Jolly Buoy Island: the island looks magical. This place offers snorkelling and scuba diving, and you can look at fantastic coral formations here. If you want to go somewhere to lay back and enjoy the sun, this might also be the place for you. This place has a strict no plastic policy, so make sure to leave them at the hotel.
Port Blair (Kalapani): how can you skip the capital city of Andaman? Situated on the South of the Andaman Islands, it houses several museums and is a significant base to the Indian navy. You can visit the Cellular Jail or the Kalapani, which reminds us of the island’s British colony history. You can also visit the Samudrika Marine Museum that showcases the local marine life on the island, and the Zsi Museum is full of animal and insect species.
Indira Point (Below Car Nicobar): Indira point is a village in the southernmost point of India. It is located in the Great Nicobar territory. You can see a lighthouse from here, which provides directions to the ships travelling to Malaysia and Malacca via India. You can also go to the Galathea National Park, where you can see the leatherback turtle- the largest of all living turtles in the world.
White Surf Waterfall: An impressive tropical waterfall hidden amid an evergreen jungle. It is situated in the Little Andaman, one central tourist spot. It is the highest in the rainy season, and many saltwater crocodiles can be found here. You can also experience the elephant safari in the adjacent forest.
