Explore The Richness Of The Andaman and Nicobar Islands

As an Indian explorer of sorts, the islands of Andaman & Nicobar, situated in the midst of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, are a much-awaited dream retreat. In the post-independence era, these clusters of islands gained further prominence due to their exceptional natural beauty and thus began the story of tourism with Andaman tour packages inviting tourists from all over the world to explore the mysterious history the islands have to offer. 

Before the Independence of India, these islands were not of much significance to the Indian diaspora, other than the colonial era Central Jail, located in the capital city of Port Blair, used to be the main attraction of the place. The event of independence allowed India to accede to these strategic islands as part of their dominion. Leaving the gruesome past behind, these islands went on to focus on tourism as their forte in the late 60s and 70s, and since then, nothing has been the same. 

To talk about the Andaman Islands, it is one of the most beautiful islands on the planet Earth, alongside other foreign locations. Apart from the scenic beauty, the islands are redesigned to host tourists, introducing several water sports adventures, trekking and much more. Here are some of the things you will get to do as a tourist when you visit the island on the Andaman tour packages. 

Exploring The Islands

There is a lot to explore, hopping from one island to another, and you must wisely plan a trip that covers most of the highlights. Havelock, Neil, and Ross are some of the island names that are quite familiar with the touring lot. These islands are known for their rich natural resources, lush green roads and exceptional underwater beauty. 

The Infamous Central Jail Compound

As mentioned earlier, Andaman Island has a brutal history, and the Central Jail compounds are the most significant example of its dark past. The place was once a political prison under British rule but is now a place that pays tribute to the Indian freedom fighters, and in their name, they have a light and sound show paying homage to the martyrs who fought for the nation. 

Water Sport Adventures

As an island in the middle of the ocean, the Andaman Islands has the resources to organise numerous water sports adventures and events for tourists to have fun. Diving, snorkelling, kayaking, and parasailing are some of the prominent sporting adventures specifically set up for tourism purposes. 

Boat Rides, Fishing & Coral Safari

Other than adventurous water sports, there are other things relating to water, such as boat riding and fishing. Secondly, the majestic coral reefs and marine life can be further explored in a semi-submarine or through scuba diving and more. 

Conclusion

The Andaman tour packages usually promise a complete exploration of the islands. However, the vast landscape and the surrounding water bodies can only be explored in part. It is advised to travellers to visit the islands on a decent package and have some spare time in case of an extended trip.
