admin Leave a comment

Most of us would have heard about the most beautiful archipelago of India called the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Situated on the shores of Bay of Bengal the island always captivates the tourists with its astounding beauty and marvelous landscape imbibed with numerous natural resources. From the above lines do not think that I have visited the island several times. For the first time when I came to know about Andaman and Nicobar Islands is from my history books. Even though the island is famous all over the world for its beauty and climate, I came to know about it when I studied about the infamous cellular jail situated on the island. It was the place where many innocent and brave freedom fighters were imprisoned during the colonial days. Over there they were brutally tortured physically and mentally. From then onwards I had a concept that the entire Andaman and Nicobar Island comprises of many infamous places. Such misunderstandings were wiped off my mind when my best friend shared the pictures of the island, where they celebrated their exotic holidays. From here, I came to know many astounding features of the mind-blowing island. Even though both Andaman and Nicobar comprise of 572 islands out of them only 37 islands seem to be inhabited by humans. Due to geographical constraints, the islands seem to be unapproachable by humans. Only it is the only place where you could find aboriginal tribes namely Jarwa and Sentinel. They are the ones who love to follow the ancient lifestyle and hesitate to interact with modern people and bring changes in their lifestyle. Considering their privacy the governments have strictly prohibited to visit those areas. Apart from these two islands Andaman and Nicobar provide a plethora of opportunities to participate in various kinds of aqua venture activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, underwater sea walking, jet skiing, and so on. She told me that most of the travelers avail of tour packages to marvel their hearts with the surreal beauty of the island and also to be part of the enthralling games.

On returning from Andaman and Nicobar Island she shared the sweet memories she experienced over there. For her it was really difficult to describe the beguiling charm of the island in mere words. Yet she said no other place in the world could be compared with that of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. As she visited the island at the end of December, she was able to participate in different festivals celebrated by the islanders. I exactly do not remember all the festivals of the island. Only a few I remember and that I would like to share with you. Island Tourism Festival is one of the prominent tourism festivals celebrated every year on 5th January in major parts of the island. Even though the festival is celebrated mainly in Port Blair, other islands such as Kamorta, Havelock Island, Neil Island, Diglipur, Hut Bay, Wimberlygunj, Campbell, Rangat, Mayabunder and so on also contribute to the festival and increase its beauty and grace. The inaugural function of the festival would be hosted by the honourable Lt. Governor. Followed to the inaugural function there would be an array of cultural programmes performed by the versatile and eminent actors of Bollywood. Along with it, one can witness the live music concerts of both classical and semi-classical. The islanders would not allow you to be as a spectator throughout the event. They will ask you to participate in various enthralling games such as scuba diving, parasailing and so on and win attractive prizes from the Island authorities.

Monsoon music festival conducted annually during the monsoon season grabs hundreds of travel enthusiast and art lovers from various corners of the world. To make the event well-renowned across the globe many eminent singers from different nations perform and increase its elegance. The festival is usually conducted during the monsoon season and mainly in Port Blair. Along with the cultural event to attract the tourist, they also conduct a free show of Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air force. Beach festival is another fascinating festival celebrated during the scorching summer days i.e. in the month of April. The festival not only attracts international travellers but also a domestic travel enthusiast. The main events practised over there are Volleyball, Kabadi, tug of war and also musical chair. Females irrespective of age could participate in musical chair competitions and win attractive prizes.

 Whatever be the festival one could find unity and brotherhood among the islanders. Along with various competitions, the locals of Andaman and visitors could also get a chance to relish many traditional and local dishes of the island prepared by experienced chefs. As the island is surrounded by waters on the four sides one will get immense opportunities to savour the plates of seafood prepared in different styles. Hearing this much I was not able to control my emotions and I expressed my wish to visit the island. I inquired how to visit the island without spending huge bucks. She said that it was Andaman Tour Travel she purchased the tour packages. They are the one who curates the packages at cheap prices. As we were hailing from Chennai they gave the provision to book the packages via online. What makes the travel agency is they provide excellent hospitality services.

Enjoying the beauty of Long Island with my parents in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

There are many places in the world that help us to revitalize and rejuvenate. There was a time when people used to visit scenic places either alone or with their family and friends. It is always said that to make the trip fabulous we should definitely accompany our dear ones. When cleaning my shelf accidentally I came across an old album. The album consists of fabulous pictures that we clicked when we went to explore new places with our family. When turning each leaf of the album I noticed one thing how naughty I was. How I irritated my parents especially my dad. I was very lazy to walk so my dad used to carry me everywhere!!! Time flies so fast, isn’t it? After college, we hardly went on a family trip. It is not because of the financial crisis but due to lack of time. Soon after graduation, I got placed in one of the most reputed multinational companies of India in Chennai. Hence I hardly got time to visit my parents. But after looking at the album I decided to plan an exotic trip to any of the scenic places. When I presented my wish to my parents they agreed. But the only demand they put forward was to visit any new place which they haven’t ever seen or heard. The task was really difficult for me. One whole night I surfed on the internet to find such a unique place unfortunately I failed. Later I shared my dilemma with my close friends. They suggested many places within and outside India. As my parents did not have a passport we dropped the idea of exploring European countries. It was my senior Rakesh who gave an idea of visiting Andaman and Nicobar Islands. As it is an island I thought there would be nothing to discover other than water bodies. But he explained the vast opportunities of learning aqua venture activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving, underwater sea walking and so on. And also the island is of the cleanest tourist places in the entire globe. I was truly inspired by the eccentric features of the island and decided to book the tour packages from Andaman Tour Travel, the only travel agency in south India that curates fabulous packages to the island.

As Andaman and Nicobar Island is situated on the shores of Bay of Bengal, it shows many similarities with that of our Indian culture. Onboarding to Veer Savarkar International airport, Port Blair, the staff of the travel agency gave us a warm welcome. From the airport, we proceeded to our resort. The roads in Andaman are bordered with tall trees. The avenues somewhat resembled that of a south Indian state say Kerala or TamilNadu. On reaching the resort the authorities gave us the keys of our rooms and also invited us for a special lunch. After getting refreshed we went to mess and savoured mouth-watering delicacies prepared in traditional Andaman style. By evening we began our exploration. First, we went to one of the most popular and also infamous prison, Cellular Jail. The prison serves as an exquisite instance for ancient colonial days. We also attended the light and sound show telecasted by the authorities of the prison. Through the program, we came to know more about the patriotic heroes of India.

The very next day we went to one of the least explored island called Long Island. With picturesque landscapes and emerald surroundings, Long Island captivates hundreds of travel enthusiast. As it is situated nearly 80 km from the capital city like you I also thought the island might be devoid of all facilities. But to surprise, the island comprises of schools, health centre, shops and so on. It also offered immense opportunities to learn water sports. The moment I reached the island the first thing I did, I collected the passes for practising snorkelling. Under the guidance of a professional guide, I learnt it. At that, my parents like a newly married couple enjoyed the beauty of waves and shores by sipping ice candies and juices under a tall coconut tree. Over there many tourists were busy practising trekking on the bare mountains. The island not only delighted our minds with picture-perfect landscapes but also it showed fun-filled activities of dolphins. It would be really strange to know that some of the tourists avail of tour packages to Andaman only to enjoy the innocent play of beautiful dolphins.

The island comprises of mainly three villages namely Lalaji bay village, middle village, and long village and all these villages are well-connected with wireless facilities hence I did not find any difficulty in uploading my photographs into social media. The best and effective way to enchant the beauty of the island is to sail in the boat, said by our tour guide. Therefore we availed of boat service and captured the beguiling beauty of the island into our cameras. In the evening all the travellers who purchased the services of Andaman Tour Travel gathered together and practised bonfire and also played antakshiri. I think it was one of the best moments of the entire trip. The very next day we moved to Havelock Island, the neighbouring island of Long Island. Havelock Island is famous for providing the facility to walk under the sea. By wearing helmets, children and adults could walk deep in the sea and enjoy the beauty of coral reefs and other marine creatures. Followed to it we did small shopping. My parents were really happy with the trip and it delighted me. By the evening we departed adieu to Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Thank you Andaman Tour Travel for making our trip into a fabulous one.

Travelling To the Andaman Islands Maketh These Happy Souls Complete, and That Too For Honeymoon

We finally tied our knots in the last August after fighting back several oppositions from both of our families. Although at the end of the day, we had completed our 4 years of relation on a happy note, the struggle that we had to face was indeed grave. Actually, one of the prominent reasons that brought us closer was our cravings for travelling. Although he was my faculty at my college and newly appointed angry young man during our first meetings, gradually the whole picture got changed. The subject that he taught us and I barely lend my ears in the class had nothing to do with travel. To be frank, I hated him initially.

So our personal talks did initiate only when he was chosen as my project guide for my post-graduation days. At some random point during our first presentation of the project in the department, he was gone missing from the college (quite technically). Out of my curiosity, when I enquired this to him, he replied back that he went for a sudden tour to Cherapunjee along with his friends. Nobody was informed about this until he returned back after 2 weeks!! I felt this act of his weird and irresponsible, but at the same time, I could measure his quest for travelling and the kinds of stuff. Later on, we had never-ending talks on travelling. And we exactly do not know when we really fell in love. We went for short journeys along with our common friends to nearby places such as Roopark, Bardaman and Babur Haat from our hometown in Kolkata.

The aftermath of our eventful marriage, the time for choosing our honeymoon destination was approaching, then we were really confused, as he had already been to most of the places in the country. Moreover, we were very much particular about travelling up to a whole new place rather than selecting an already visited destination. Also, many of the common travel destinations would be crowded during these months of the year (final days of December) when he had managed to get leave. Yes, at least by now, I insisted on him to be responsible and loyal. So When I googled with the same tagline of ‘offbeat less-visited honeymoon destination of India’, I got noticed of Andaman. The images of the place were also beautiful and perfect for a honeymoon. Moreover, there were interesting tour packages also. We booked one with the popular Andaman Tour Travel.

So we packed our bags and headed up to the exotic island destination of Andaman on a fine December morning. Within a few hours of flying, we were at the Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair. Once accompanying our tour guide we went up to the resort where we were to stay. The cosy room that was allotted to us was facing the azure sea. We relaxed for some time before taking a wholesome lunch comprising of tasty seafood recipes. After that, we proceeded towards our first beach in the list alongside a marine drive. The Corbyn’s Cove beach was on the same island that we were staying in. After covering a few distances, the views were getting more splendid. My husband was stopping me from filming too much. His opinion was taking too many pictures will lose your precious moments of enjoying the beauty of a place with naked eyes.

After witnessing a mesmerizing sunset from the shores of this stony beach of Andaman, we returned back to the room. Our tour executives excitedly informed us to be ready by 7.30 in the lobby of the resort as they have got some plans for us then. I was very thrilled when we got to know about this. However, he had that cunning yet sweet smile on his face as always. He was standing there as if he knew everything. At the informed time, we reached the spot they asked us to be in. To our surprise, they had set a Candlelight dinner exclusively for us on the white seashore!! That was one of the best things to happen on our honeymoon, I doubt that it was only later added to our packages on his demands.

Next day early morning, we got ready to our major destination which was the Elephant beach, where we reached after travelling strenuously for around 3 and a half hours, first by road, then a boat and again on road. We had to travel a lot just because our destination was situated in yet another enticing island called Swarajdweep also known as Havelock Island. After having a delicious breakfast, we set out for trekking. Although it was a bit lengthy, we did not feel so as I was with my favourite person and kept on talking. In between the talks, we got to pass through some marshy areas where I purposefully dipped hubby to it. After which, we were to exposed to yet another heavenly beach. On enquiry, we got to realise, there used to be an Elephant named Rajan who used to swim in the oceans!!

We had reached a bit late (of about 4 years), otherwise, we could have witnessed that amusing sight.  Fate… Ah, fine anyways. Even without that, we had lots of fun lots of fun as we later swam in the crystal clear waters and also did some snorkelling. We were amazed to witness that stunning set of coral reefs just beneath the surface water. In between, fishes and some other small creatures (I could not really identify them, nor did my husband). Thank god, they were not harming us. I really did not feel like returning, but we had to, as it was already late afternoon by the time we went back.

That effect of the empty stomach was only affecting once we got out of the Andaman Sea waters. So without wasting much time, we headed to a nearby seafood restaurant. To our surprise, we got to meet a Bengali Kaka who was the cook there. We created a great rapport with him in a few minutes. He served us delicious food in with those distinct Bengali flavours. We had to rest for some time, as we had eaten too much. So after a while, we proceeded to the most popular beach of Radhanagar Beach that is even internationally acclaimed. We were very excited. The beauty of this magical seashore with crystal clear waters and pure white sand lined up by lush green area cannot be described on words. I could say that it was the best sunset we have ever got to witness. Later that day, the dreamy island had more surprises for us. Well, I was talking about nothing else, but of the bioluminescence!! We got to behold at that stunning sight from the beaches of Havelock. It was the most romantic thing that had to happen in our entire Honeymoon trip…

An Andaman Trip – A 25th Wedding Anniversary Gift for My Parents

Andaman tour packages

From the day I remember my parents used to celebrate mine and my sister’s birthdays, small and big achievements and festivals. As we are grown up it is our turn to return those special moments to them. We were commencing to the auspicious day- the 25th wedding anniversary of our loving parents. We both wanted it to celebrate in a special way. On ours every special occasion, they used to marvel our hearts with surprises and precious gifts. So this time we decided to surprise with a wonderful gift. At first, we thought of presenting them with expensive dresses or ornaments. By god’s grace, they have enough and more. After spending 2 days we reach a decision to send them for a trip.  And now the question raised where to send? Many places’ names ran into our brains. Suddenly my younger sister remembered the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. They had once shared with us they really wanted to celebrate their honeymoon at Andaman but due to lack of money they couldn’t afford the tour package and were forced to drop the trip. We thought it would be the best occasion to send them to the Andaman Islands. Now the next step was to find the best travel partner who curates packages to the island. Without doing much research we decided to select Andaman Tour Travel Company. The sincere feedbacks received from the travelers were enough for us to trust them. I probably think it was 1 month before the anniversary we disclosed the surprise it is because we wanted them to cut their anniversary cake on the island. After hearing our gift, tears started rolling down from their cheeks. They never expected such a wonderful surprise from us. With joy in their hearts, they said they are really proud of us. But they put forward one condition that they need us with them. We tried our best to get rid of it. But they warned us if we do not accompany them they will not accept the gift. We did not have any other option finally we were forced to join them. We again approached the Andaman Tour Travel and discussed our family trip. They with a pleasing smile said they have the latest family package and like to sell it for exciting discount rates. Then and there itself we grabbed the package. We didn’t forget to ask whether any water activities were inculcated in the package. A wide range of aqua venture sports are incorporated in the package they replied.

Two days prior to the anniversary we boarded the flight to Veer Savarkar International Airport at Port Blair in Andaman from Madurai International Airport. We had a warm welcome at the airport. From there we proceeded to one of the classy hotels in the capital city, Port Blair. On reaching the hotel we were greeted with fresh cool drinks. We were then guided to our rooms. Our rooms were really spacious. Balconies were attached to our rooms from there we were able to witness the panoramic view of the city. After relaxing for a few hours we were asked to get ready for the sightseeing. My sister reminded me to carry the camera to click auspicious moments of our family. As per the itinerary of the package we were first taken to the Cellular Jail. Over there we were able to capture the golden moments of history. Followed to it we stroll through the historic streets and did a little bit of shopping.  To ease our trip a tour guide was allocated to us. He shared valuable information. He commented that Port Blair is one of the busiest islands in Andaman and it is known as the seat of government. It also comprises the only airport of Andaman. By the evening we returned back to our rooms for unwinding and relaxing.

The next day we moved to Neil Island. It is considered as the vegetation bowl of Andaman and Nicobar Island. The serene nature and soothing climate lure not only us but thousands of travelers to the island. The island is well-renowned for its smooth sandy beaches. Rampur Beach, Sitapur Beach and Laxmanpur Beach are a few among them. These beaches were named after the mythological characters of the holy book Ramayan. I and my sister participated in various water sports such as snorkeling, scuba diving, jet riding, and parasailing. I exactly don’t remember I think we cut the cake at Sitapur beach. On our special request, the authorities had made all the necessary arrangements. On that glorious moment, our dad gifted a Kancheepuram saree to my mom and a golden necklace too. In return, my mom presented him with a fast track watch, golden ring, and a dress also. That evening we remained in the Neil Island itself.

The next day we moved to Havelock Island. The main purpose of the visit was not only to witness awesome nature but also to provide a chance for our parents to participate in sea walking. As it is the only game that they can indulge at this age, therefore, we insisted on the guide to first take to Elephant beach and then to Radhanagar Beach. Under the special guidance of the professional experts, we all participated in sea walking by wearing a helmet. It is really difficult to express the feeling which we experienced under the water while walking in the sea. We were able to meet many rare and gorgeous aquatic organisms and coral reefs of various patterns and colors. After relishing mouthwatering traditional Andaman foods we moved to Radhanagar Beach. It is declared as the most beautiful and cleanest beaches in Asia. We really had a family time under palm-fringed tress by watching the sea waves wiping the beach. Over here we had arranged a candlelit dinner for our parents (due to lack of time it was not possible in Neil Island). We hope the dinner might have helped them to recollect their good olden days.  From Havelock Island also we did a little bit of shopping and moved back to Port Blair. By the evening we boarded the flight to our native from Veer Savarkar International Airport. Tour coordinators dropped us to the airport. We really had a wonderful time in Andaman. Thank you Andaman Tour Travel for making our trip awesome.
