The astonishing and the alluring Andamans
The most classical crystal clear blue glassy waters that you have ever seen, defines Andamans. Andamans can easily be described as “Man’s own heaven of blue.”
The reef is popularly rated by the locals and Andaman admirers to be the third most beautiful and populated coral reef in the world. The temperature and the ocean currents along with various other geographical factors have over centuries built this beautiful and secret underwater world.
Why Andamans?
The famed beauty of Andamans will keep you awestruck and speechless. It is proven that Andamans is much more magnificent and alluring than what we watch in movies or television, or in discovery channel programs and tourism videos. The feel, the touch, the variety of flora and fauna in Havelock is truly incomparable. The matchless beauty has been ardently guarded and ferociously protected for ages.
The Indian archipelago consist of more than 300 Islands in Andaman alone and the remaining 272 Islands constitute the Nicobar Islands. The Indigenous tribes have been living in some parts of these Islands since 2000 years. The travellers are restricted to visit these places from a culture preservation point of view, but you can learn a lot about them at the Samudrika Marine Museum. The museum also hosts many exotic marine species and skeleton of the blue whale. If you want to go on a budget exotic tropical holiday, Andaman is the place to be. With its sparkling blue water, colourful coral reefs and white sand beaches, you get the best of views. Water sports is something you cannot miss on these Islands. North Bay Island is the best spot for snorkelling, deep diving and underwater sea-walking. A common misconception amongst people is that they should have prior swimming or diving experience for them to enjoy these water sports which is far from the truth. If still, you are not confident enough to try the mentioned water sports, you can try the Banana Boat, which is thrilling and much safer. For kids and older adults, there is glass bottom boat ride, and Cellular Jail light show is a must for all ages.
