Honeymoon packages in
India: Top places to visit in Andaman
Clean, unpolluted
and secluded, Andaman is the perfect getaway for newly-weds to begin their romantic
sojourn. Take a walk on its pristine white sand beaches, snorkel to discover
its rich marine life or spend some quality time together at one of its luxury
resorts. If these are what you are looking for, these islands are where you
should go. We help you plan a blissful honeymoon.
Port Blair
Begin your
honeymoon at Port Blair, the capital of these islands where your flight will
land. Head to Corbyns Cove Beach which is lined with coconut trees and is ideal
for swimming. If you don’t want to step into the water, relax with a beer and
some scrumptious seafood available in a restaurant on the beach. If you want to
go scuba diving, Snake Island just across this beach is a good option.
In the evening,
watch the Sound and Light Show at the Cellular Jail which was where many
freedom fighters were imprisoned. The show is engaging, giving you a brief
history of what transpired in Andaman during our freedom struggle.
Next morning,
visit museums in and around Port Blair such as the Forest Museum,
Anthropological Museum and the Fisheries Museum. Have a nice meal and head to
Ross Island by taking a short boat ride from the Water Sports Complex. Here you
can see the ruins of what was once the Administrative Headquarters before an
earthquake rocked it.
Havelock
To reach Havelock,
you’ll have to take a ferry from Port Blair. There’s a government-run ferry
service at 6 am which takes two-and-a-half hours to reach Havelock. Once here,
you can go to Beach No 7 aka Radhanagar Beach. One of the best beaches not just
in India but in Asia, it is quite popular among honeymooners for its clear blue
waters and picturesque setting that is sure to put you in a romantic mood. You two
can spend a good few hours here, away from all the hubbub.
When in Havelock,
do visit the Elephant Beach which is famous for snorkeling. You will have to
take a boat ride to reach the beach and will be greeted with white sands,
fallen trees and water so clear that you can see the corals and reefs. Even if
you don’t enjoy snorkeling, you can take some candid pictures against the
stunning backdrop.
Neil Island
From Havelock,
take a government ferry to reach Neil Island that is one-and-a-half hours away.
Divided into five villages, you will get off at Bharatpur which is the only
entry and exit point at Neil Island. You can explore the small island which is
thinly populated but has many natural sites. Visit the Laxmanpur Beach and
natural coral bridge.
You will find a
few beach hotels and restaurants on this island where you can have a nice meal
and decent accommodation. Head back to Port Blair from where you will depart
with a bag full of beautiful memories.
