There is something special about the Andaman Islands. The breezy emerald beaches? Thailand has it. The countless string of islands? We have the Maldives for that. Then, what is so special about Andaman that makes you to embark on Andaman tour packages? A sense of serenity that lingers in the air, the untrackable ethnic history of the locals, the legends enveloping the now-touristy shipwrecks and ruins, and of course the otherworldly islands make this destination irresistible for travellers and culture buffs alike.
Fuelling the’ curiosity, what we have seen and will ever see is only a small portion of the 36/572 islands that are open for travellers’ access. That indeed says enough about the destination – Andaman probably has a whole lot of islands, ethnicities, rainforests, animal species and mysteries that are yet to unfold (and there is a good chance they’ll stay safe and get lost in the depths of time).
From pearly white beaches to adrenaline-inducing watersport hubs, we handpick the best places you should visit on your first trip to Andaman.
