The most famous fishes that the fishers like the most are the Giant Trevally. Giant Trevally is popularly known as ‘Kokkari’ by the local communities. Weighing around 200lb catching the giant fish from the sapphire crystal water is a tedious task. Watching the strenuous effort of fishermen to envelope them in the large fishing net is itself is an entertaining event for any age of people. Blue Fin Trevally is another most favourite aquatic creature that is loved by all the fishers. Understanding its importance many foreign nations are ready to pay a huge amount for it.

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…
