The Andaman Islands are an Indian archipelago in the Bay of Bengal. These roughly 300 islands are known for their palm-lined, white-sand beaches, mangroves and tropical rainforests. Coral reefs supporting marine life such as sharks and rays make for popular diving and snorkeling sites. Indigenous Andaman Islanders inhabit the more remote islands, many of which are off limits to visitors
You shall arrive at Port Blair, the cool island capital of Andamans. It is the busiest among all the islands that you are scheduled to visit in this short trip. After relaxation and freshening up at the hotel and catching on to your lunch, you shall proceed on towards the Corby’s Cove Beach. Corbyn’s Cove Beach is pleasant and idyllic. It offers a beautiful sunset view. The sea waters that wash up to the sandy beaches bring along with it miniature sea shells and molluscs that are cool to watch. The water is warm and you can take a cool dip and also go for swimming. The fun lovers can go for a speed-boat ride. You can see the silhouettes of the nearby islands. Sip a cool drink or the sweet green coconut. Rest and relax on the benches arranged on a minimal rental basis on the beach for the convenience of the travellers. Watch the lazy sun dip into the golden waters at dusk and return to the hotel in Port Blair. In the evening, you are at leisure and you can try the local market, the Aberdeen Bazar. You cannot call Port Blair a shopper’s heaven but you can get pretty and unique trinkets and souvenirs made from local materials like shell, bamboo and coconut. Pretty pearl jewellery, mats made of padauk wood and colourful and designer jewellery items can be bought from the Sagarika Government Emporium in Aberdeen Bazaar. Mementos chosen with care to be carried for your loved ones!
