Andaman Islands
Tropical islands with white sand, turquoise sea and coral reefs
About Andaman Islands
Far out in the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman Islands are India's tropical paradise — a remote archipelago of powder-white beaches, crystal-clear turquoise water and vivid coral reefs. It's the country's premier destination for diving, snorkelling and simply switching off.
Travellers fly into Port Blair before island-hopping by ferry to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), home to the celebrated Radhanagar Beach, and the quieter Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep). Beneath the surface lies some of the best coral and marine life in South Asia.
