The name itself gives an image of clear blue sky, deep blue water, coral reefs, lush greenery. Yes! it is all these and much more beyond these! When speaking about Andamans, it cannot be covered in one article, hence this is the 1st part \u2013 Port Blair<\/strong>. Next would be Neil Island<\/strong> and Havelock<\/strong> in the consecutive articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mumbai to Andamans is quite a task to be planned for, especially if you alone are planning for others for the entire trip. The direct and cheapest flights are available from Kolkata and Chennai. Since this was not a backpacking trip for me this time, opted for a good package option. Did a lot of RnD with MakeMyTrip, Yatra, Thomas Cook, etc. but it was crossing the budget more than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I came across another website of ExperienceAndamans<\/a>. It was a new option for me and was hearing the name for first time. Was a bit skeptical but all vanished away once we experienced Andamans through their service. Since it was family trip and senior citizens were present, hence the cab and resorts were chosen really well by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We reached Port Blair airport in the morning and the accommodation was only 5 mins away \u2013 Sea Lounge<\/a>. Very neat and clean with all amenities and great service. You can also get a beautiful view of the hills and Ocean from the balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Went to the Corbyn\u2019s Cove Beach<\/strong> at Port Blair. It\u2019s an average but clean beach with casual eateries, souvenir shops, lounge chairs and palm trees. Jet skiing available there or simply you can spend a good time chilling out or walking on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that we headed for the Cellular Jail<\/a>. Whoever knows the story of our Freedom Fighters for the struggle of India\u2019s freedom, would be astounded once stepped inside. Do take a guide if you want to know in detail the relevance of all places there and the history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
