The Untouched Paradise

The very first day in Andaman when I reached the airport at Port Blair from there I was taken to my hotel and after I got freshen up I took a tour around the city(Port Blair) and visited the Carbyns Cove Beach and came through few aquatic animals and beautiful corals in a museum.

Then visited the Famous Cellular Jail and watched the light show which took place in the evening.

The next day I had to transfer from Port Blair to Havelock Island at 6:00 a.m in the morning. The transfer was through a ship which took almost 1 and a half hour and finally reached the dock. Then after having my breakfast I was taken to the Radhanagar Beach where I spent almost 4 to 5 hours and then head back to my hotel.

The next day I was taken to the Kala Patthar Beach and almost got 3 to 4 hours to spend on that beach before my next transfer. The kala Patthar Beach is one of the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. It's clean and mesmerising.

At around 3:00 p.m of day 2 I got transferred to Neil Island through a ship. As it was raining very heavily, I still managed to take few photos of the places I visited. At first after getting down from the ship I was directly taken to the Natural Coral Beach where you can see dead corals and a huge amount of aquatic life. Some of which I noticed was a sea cucumber, an eel, snakes and many more.. It's almost a 45 minutes walk on the corals so watch your steps.

The next day I was taken to a beach wear I was about to do a boat ride. This was a very amazing boat ride wear you are allowed to watch the live corals and the aquatic animals through a glass sheet. The bottom of the boat was covered with a glass sheet so that 15 to 20 meters down could be seen. And you can enjoy the aquatic life.

At around 1 p.m I was taken back to the dock as my transfer to Port Blair was to be made through a cruise ship and it took around 2 to 2 and a half hour to reach back to port Blair.

Then I was taken for a local tour to chidiya tapu where you can see varieties of birds and enjoy the sunset.

The next day at around 3 a.m in the morning I had to wake up as my trip to the Baratang Caves would Start. It takes around 2 hours to reach the checkpost where the vehicles are only allowed after 6 a.m to see the jarwa tribe. The Jarwa tribe is the oldest tribe residing in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. We had to cross a 45 km road through the forest which is also a little bit steep and narrow. And there are strict rules to not to get in any contact of the jarwas within those 45 km. Photography is strictly prohibited. You can see the jarwas on the way. Then after covering those 45 km you reach another checkpost from where you will be transferred through a ship (cargo mostly) and then you will be taken to the mangrove forest.

There will be a boat which will take you to the mangrove forest and it takes almost 30 minutes to reach the forest. Now you have to walk almost 1.5km to get to the Limestone cave. The road to the cave is a very risky path so you have to watch your step very carefully. As due to rain it was slippery and muddy. When I reached the caves it looked beautiful and as you get inside it, it gets narrower and narrower. It's a pleasing site to watch. Inside the caves you can see stalagmites and Stalactites and other limestone formatioms.

Then again we return through the same path and come back to Port Blair through the same road and the total journey to the Baratang Caves took around 12 to 14 hours.

The next day I visited 2 different Island. Ross Island and Northbay Island.

You will be taken on a boat from the Avardin jetty to the Ross Island and you will get 1 hour to take a look of the whole Ross Island. It is totally a historic view.

After 1 hour the same boat will take you to the North Bay Island where you can do existing water activities and watch the whole Island from the North Bay Watch Tower. The whole Island looks beautiful from there.
