🐠 Andaman
India's Tropical Island Paradise
About Andaman
The Andaman & Nicobar Islands sit in the Bay of Bengal, 1,400 km from the Indian mainland. With turquoise water, white-sand beaches, coral reefs teeming with sea life, and a fascinating history (British used it as a prison colony), the Andamans are India's best-kept tropical secret.
Why Visit Andaman
Radhanagar Beach
Rated one of Asia's best beaches — 2 km of soft white sand, emerald water, and spectacular sunsets. On Havelock Island.
Scuba Diving & Snorkelling
Some of India's best dive sites — Nemo Reef, The Wall, Lighthouse. Visibility up to 40m. Whale sharks and manta rays spotted here.
Cellular Jail
The notorious British-era prison where India's freedom fighters were imprisoned. The Light & Sound show at night is deeply moving.
Neil Island
A quieter, more laid-back alternative to Havelock. Natural Bridge, Sitapur beach for sunrise, and virtually no crowds.
