Andaman and Nicobar Islands


 Andaman and Nicobar Islands is one of the Union Territories of India. It was really exciting to explore the islands of Andaman. Though there are hundreds of islands in this union territory, we visited only three of them. Port Blair (The capital city of Andaman and Nicobar), Ross Island (No human habitation, only ruins of old settlement) and Havelock Island (famous for its pristine clear sea and all water sports activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, sea walking, glass bottom boat ride and many others).

To reach Port Blair, we took a flight to Chennai and from Chennai to Port Blair. The views of the islands before landing were really spectacular.

In Port Blair, we stayed at Peerless Sarovar Portico.

Peerless Sarovar Portico is located near the Corbyn's Cove Beach. When we reached Port Blair, it was late afternoon so after taking some rest we went to the beach. It was crowded.

We had fun at the beach though our little one was a bit scared of the waves and so she didn’t even go near the sea and was busy making hill in the sand. There is one watersport activity in this beach that is jet ski. There is also one small island visible from the beach called Snake island.

The surrounding view of the beach is also eye-catching.

Next day was Monday. Majority of the tourist spots of Port Blair are closed, so we went to explore the Ross Island. I will give the details about this island in my next blog.
