Day 1- Land to enveloping air of
Andamans, full of warmth and sunshine in morning. Move to the jetty to
straightaway head towards Havelock Islands. Pre-book ferry tickets through a
travel agent though you need to wait in queue at check-in counters for check-in
fee. Porters not allowed after baggage screening so all baggage to be carried
yourself until jetty, i.e. approx. 70metres.
Enjoy the steamy ride with fun
and frolic on decks and calm inside the cabins.

Day 2-Early morning head to
Elephant beach by speed boats in twenty minutes. Each boat carries around ten
people at the max. All bookings need to be made in advance. Bad weather though
can cause last minute cancellations.
Head back to Havelock Island in
day time. Go to Radhanagar beach by cab the same day and enjoy a vast expanse
of beach and eateries and a beautiful sunset. If you are lucky and it
downpours, you can catch a mighty rainbow too.

Day 4- Early morning leave at 3am
for Baratang lime stone caves. The police patrol starts from the forest entry
at 6am and takes you through a scenic heavy forest of JARAWA TRIBE, and lands
you at boat jetty through which you cross the river and head towards an almost
6kms trek to and fro to limestone caves. Also a twenty minute speed boat ride
under thick mangrove forests which lead you up to the trek. Same way of
returning back to port Blair until late evening.

Day 5/6/7- Early morning
speedboat rides to red skin island/ Ross island/Neil Island and full day
exploration required for each of them. Port Blair also has a chidiya tapu (more
crocodiles than birds) and various other rocky beaches which are nothing
compared to Radhanagar beach, one of Asia’s best at Havelock. Also all other
beautiful offbeat destinations at Andaman and Nicobar like Diglipur (famous for
sand walk between two islands/beaches) etc. are ten to twelve hours away
from
port Blair so preferably to be
covered in second trip as these areas are yet to be developed from tourism
point of view.
