Amazing Andaman & Nicobar

Andaman & Nicobar is the most unique Island state of India and its because of this geographic location the beaches and coastal areas of these islands are still untouched and unspoilt, making it an ideal beach holiday destination. There are 362 volcanic islands of which only 37 are inhabited. The climate and isolation has given these islands a prominence among the best tropical beach islands and a paradise of exquisite marine life. The lush green islands have a colourful historical past, with strings of invasions by the French, Dutch, Japanese and British, setting off raging wars between the settlers and the native tribes.

Beaches :
The prominent beaches of Andaman and Nicobar Islands are Corbyn's Cove and Chirya Tapu, Radhnagar Beach, Harminder Bay Beach, Karmatang Beach, Ramnagar Beach.


Places to see :
Around Port Blair, the waters around Andaman have spectacular bio-diversity, and dive conditions that are ideal for an experienced diver.


Cellular Jail :
Built by the British in the early part of the century. Now a memorial to Indian prisoners. A son-et-lumiere is held here.

 

Rutland Island :
The shallow waters here have a good representation of smaller fish and coral, and a good place for training open water divers.

Cinque Island :
One of the best destinations for diving sport in the island, it has clear emerald water with a visibility of up to 80 feet. The deep dive offers a terrific variety of marine life including back coral and sightings of sharks.

 

Havelock Island
This Island is approximately 4 hours from the Port Blair airport by inter-island ferry. The dive centre located on the island offers a wide range of largely unexplored dive sites rich in underwater marine life.

Snake Island :
Has awesome rock faces and a spectacular dive landscape. Marine life includes Trigger fish, Grunts, Goatfish and Rays.

Best Time to Visit Andaman & Nicobar Islands is between November and May.
