Andaman islands

The desire to visit the Andaman Islands was fueled by the tales of misery he had read and heard.

and the deaths of Indian freedom fighters held by the British in Port Blair Mobile Jail.

Much later I found the natural beauty of Andaman before my eyes.

Luckily while I was searching for a vacation destination online it came up and I got a good deal on air travel packages and Andaman. Best of all, we landed in Port ^Blair on August 15, Independence Day, and visiting the jail that day was the least I could do to thank the brave souls who laid down their lives for us. You can celebrate this day!

The day we landed in Port Blair we took a lovely walk along the beach to Corbin Cove.

In the evening I drank sweet coconut water and then spicy "Xhahal Mori". Water sports

It seems to be a very popular activity there, even though we didn't participate, we enjoyed watching it.

We then went to the cell jail to see the sound and light show. Everything was lit up to celebrate the Independence Day and there was a festive atmosphere.

After entering, we sat in the prepared chairs and waited for the story to be shared. The story is told through a listening box by locals who were there before the prison was built, so they saw and heard everything that happened all those years ago. The dark tone was Om Puri's best choice. In the end, we are left with humility and pride for all the heroes.

The next morning we took the boat to Ross Island until it was destroyed by an earthquake in 1941. The headquarters then moved to Port Blair. Ross Island is relatively small and can be reached on foot in an hour. The scraps were taken of course. A small museum of the Indian Navy and some spotted deer are also well taken care of!

Museum on Ross Island

According to Wikipedia: " After Dr. James Pattison Walker arrived in Port Blair on March 10, 1858 aboard the East India Company steam frigate Semiramis, the island remained under British control until 1942. The island was under Japanese control from 1942 to in 1945. However, the Allies recaptured the island in 1945 and then abandoned it.At the time of the British occupation, this island was the seat of British power .

Now it was time to enjoy water sports like scuba diving, ocean walking, snorkeling and a glass bottom boat ride to see the coral reefs that stretch across the island.

I did the boardwalk and it was a great experience! ! You will be taken out to sea by a floating boat and, after a briefing by professional divers who will always guide you, you will land at the bottom of the sea. And you

At the end of a fun day we returned to Port Blair and headed back to the ferry terminal for the next morning's ferry to Neil Island. We were taken to the beautiful beaches on the Nile Island and boarded a glass bottom boat to see the coral reefs off the coast of Bharatpur.
It was wonderful! And then, after lunch and souvenir shopping, we went to the corals.

Bridge. Then it was time to take the boat to the famous Havelock Island!

Havelock Island is normally a place for all tourists to relax and enjoy water sports, but since we were in the season when the water sports were not yet open, we enjoyed a long walk along the beautiful beach and visited the famous beach in Radhanagar. .

It is considered one of the best beaches in Asia. After a few days of refreshment at Havelock, we return to Port Blair and spend the last night visiting Chidia Tapu in the Andamans.

The local cuisine is mainly Bengali because the early settlers were Bengali and outnumbered the Tamil settlers.

It was a wonderful and fun holiday and a destination that everyone should visit whether for relaxation, water sports or a walk through history.
