Detailed Itinerary
You arrive at the coveted destination Andaman.

You are received at the airport by the AndamanTourism personnel. You are dropped at the hotel of your choice. After a brief relaxation, lunch and freshening up, you proceed on to Viper Island. It is located in South Andamans and is named after the ship H.M.S. Viper in which Lt. Archibald Blair arrived at Andamans way back in the year 1789. It is believed that the ship met with an accident and its wreckage was found along the coast. This island was used by the British to imprison political prisoners of the freedom struggle era. The ruins of the horrifying gallows are still to be seen. Return to Neil Island for overnight stay.
