Andaman ~ Havelock and Neil islands Itinerary

I hope all of you, my lovely readers, have gone through my previous post on Andaman Port Blair Itinerary.
I started my journey from Port Blair. Once you reach Port Blair, book a cruise to go to the lovely Havelock Island. Bookings can be done from the local offices for the different cruise operators. Grab a window seat if you can get one. You will discover some of the most wonderful of scenic beauty while you are on this journey. The dark blue water of the Bay of Bengal , the light azure sky and the floating white foamy clouds will take your breath away. You will find yourself spoilt for choice as to what to click with your camera!

Yaa! That's the colour of the water and you can see through it !

Our beautiful Resort in Havelock
Once you reach Havelock you will find many resorts that you have to pre-book. But while booking, make sure that the resorts are located beside the sea. The sea at Havelock is of a mild green hue which changes its color depending on the time of the day. The white coral beach , the green sea and the blue sky - it's a riot of colors here. You will find yourself engrossed in this magical land where you can sit for hours without having any sense of time. Time glides smoothly and so slowly here in Havelock that you can relax to your heart's desire.

Radhanagar Beach

In the evening, plan for a trip to Radhanagar beach which is famous for its beautiful sunset. As you watch the sun going behind the horizon you will get to see a play of magenta, purple, orange, yellow, red , pink and blue in the sky. As the darkness slowly creeps in; the yellow street lights turn on and bathes the beach and the local market in an amber color.

Next day plan for a trip to Elephant Beach - Asia's most beautiful beach. Once you reach there you will know why it is called so .  The crystal clear water, the white beach with a blue sky and large logs of wood lying carelessly here and there is bound to mesmerize you with its beauty. We took the trekking route to reach here to get an adrenaline rush! However you can reach there by road as well. Here you can have many water sports and rides. Snorkeling, sea diving, sea walking, banana boat ride, speed boat ride, glass bottom boat ride - there are plenty of options available. It's a wonderful idea to go for a glass bottom boat ride if you are less adventurous - as you wouldn't like to miss the group of beautifully colored fishes and numerous corals, sea cucumbers, star fish, tortoise and aquatic vegetation . You will discover a whole new world that exists under water and you would feel glad that you gathered the courage to see them live if you go there while snorkeling or deep sea diving. Thank me later!

Next day we went to Neil Island -  the most exotic place in India. Here the water color will change to a pale green and you can see jelly fishes roaming around in the sea! Havelock to Neil is just an hour journey by any cruise and you can again pre-book any resort located near the sea. You can spend time under a tree doing nothing as the view in front of your eyes would rejuvenate you with its therapeutic value. At night if you sit on the sea shore you can hear the murmur of different live shells passing and walking on the coral shores!
