Like most folks, Me and my hubby wanted a break from the bustling city life of Bangalore, if just for a short while. This escape mood usually strikes when we find we don’t even have time to embrace each other. So we decided it was time to head out to Andaman Nicobar for a week, for some adventure and relax time! Experienceandamans is a popular travel agency in Andaman which sells Andaman honeymoon tour packages. We get to know about this company from online and decided to go with this agency after reading some valuable reviews.
So one fine morning, our family boarded the 6:20 departure from Kempe Gowda International Airport and arrived Veer Savarkar International Airport, Port Blair by 14:05PM. ‘Finding a hotel or resort is not tough, we can easily find one depending on the depth of our pockets’. The weather was humid we reached the hotel after a short few minutes drive. We decided to unwind that evening at T Chidiya Tapu, Port Blair with jazz music and the sea breeze serenading us on the roof top bar with a beautiful expansive view of the sea.
Day 1, Havelock Island was the first attraction on our list. A government run air-conditioned catamaran ferry takes you there in 90 minutes. God lord! the Radhanagar Beach at Havelock Island was simply mind blowing ! No surprises that it was named the “Best Beach in Asia” by Times in 2004. A place to relax, swim and play they had provision for small lockers to keep our personal devices so we could be handsfree! There were treetop homes for those who wanted to just sit back and enjoy the view of the beautiful sunset.
Our next target was Elephant Beach. Though we were apprehensive of venturing there, not being confident of our swimming skills, I soon fell in love with this place because they made Sea Walking and Snorkeling both seem so safe and doable. It took us four hours and was complete value for money. We got a chance to view the enchanting world of coral reefs and much…much more. they also have the option to capture our underwater exploration on reel ! Soon spirited with our new found underwater confidence, our next stop was for Scuba Diving! Initially, I was nervous about Scuba Diving but as my dear wanted to give it a try, we just dived straight in. After repeated assurance that it was totally safe and no swimming skills were required, we were actually delighted to hear that the journey underwater was for 2.5 Hours.
Day 2. Who doesn’t like to meet a celebrity? We headed to Barefoot at Havelock Resort to meet our star celebrity, Rajan theelephant. A retired swimmer who still looks young and handsome!. Though not into vigorous swimming, you can still meet him here (Barefoot, Havelock Resort by appointment). You will not be able to swim with him anymore, but any interaction with this gentle giant, the true icon of Andamans is awesome and a deeply rewarding experience.
Neil Island is yet another beautiful spot to relax. “Scenic” that’s the best word to describe. They sell some natural drinks like coconut, mango etc. The weather is heavenly and can rejuvenate you in an instant ! It is just the perfect place to relax and have fun with this beauteous, virgin nature at its very best. Some other great things to check out are the Jolly Bouy Island , Wandoor Beach, Andaman Trip, Baratang Island, Limestone Caves and Mud Volcano Andaman, tricking at The Natural Rock, Cellular Jail and the list just goes on and on even as i run out of paper.
I waved a heavy goodbye as I saw the coastline vanishing under a spray of clouds as my flight back to Bangalore took off and gained altitude. The positive side was I was returning back totally charged and ready to take on the world !
