The Beautiful Andaman

Now it must be almost two years… or maybe three years back when I took a break from my monotonous life to chill out in the beaches of Goa. What actually captured my mind was the extra green surroundings and the mad sea. It was beautiful to see the dark sea hit the rocks with all force while feeling the rain. It was nature at its best I thought. The roaring seas, lush green surroundings and a small beautiful waterfall – things can’t get better. (check my post “a rainy paradox”).

Little had I known that the best was yet to come in my life. Last month we took another break from our lives. I was skeptical about the trip as I did not really think it was worth travelling so far just to visit a small group of islands at the juncture of Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean. But my father was adamant about visiting the island territory so we packed our bags.

The nearly isolated island fascinated me almost instantly. The pristine sea beaches and serene greenery must have been a replica of the paradise itself. Each island had its own charm and was different from the other.

Viper island was wild

and  the picturesque Chidiya Tapu at Port Blair was serene and specially more charming during the sunset time.

And yes I forgot to mention, it was also my first journey in a cruise! The 57km journey from Port Blair to Havelock was a memorable one.

It was nice… take a further look into some pictures taken from the ship when we halted very shortly in some Neil Island

Well if you are a shopaholic you might not find this post very interesting. Due to less population you won’t get many decent shops but you do get good coral material there

However we did have connectivity problems. We were completely cut off from the world without mobile connection but that is another story Smile.
