Six stunning island destinations, each with its own character — from colonial heritage to raw jungle and pristine coral reefs.
Where To Go
Home to Radhanagar Beach — once voted Asia's best beach by Time magazine. Havelock offers world-class scuba diving, pristine white-sand shores, and a relaxed island atmosphere that draws travellers from across the globe.
The capital and gateway to the Andamans. Port Blair is rich in colonial history — home to the Cellular Jail, Ross Island, and Corbyn's Cove beach. It's where every Andaman journey begins and ends.
The hidden gem of the Andamans. Smaller and quieter than Havelock, Neil Island charms visitors with its colourful coral reefs, paddy fields, and the iconic Natural Bridge rock formation.
An off-the-beaten-path destination famous for its mysterious limestone caves, mud volcanoes, and dense mangrove creek journeys. The drive through Jarawa tribal reserve adds to the adventure.
The northernmost point of the Andamans, Diglipur is known for Saddle Peak — the highest point in the archipelago — and Ross & Smith Islands, connected by a stunning sandbar. It's also a nesting ground for sea turtles.
Once the administrative headquarters of the British, Ross Island is now a hauntingly beautiful ruin swallowed by jungle roots. A short boat ride from Port Blair, it offers a fascinating glimpse into colonial history.
Getting There
The Andaman Islands are accessible by air and sea from several major Indian cities.
Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair has direct flights from major cities. Flight time is approx. 2–2.5 hours.
Government passenger ships operate from Chennai, Kolkata, and Visakhapatnam. The journey takes 3–4 days and is a unique experience in itself.

Once in the Andamans, getting around is part of the adventure. Ferries connect the major islands; cabs and bikes are available locally.
