Radhanagar Village, Beach No 7 Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, 744101, +-91--9003115483
Day 1 - Journey From Port Blair (PB) to Havelock Island (HI) The brief stay at the Fortune Island resort at Port Blair was good but nothing compared to the Havelock Island so I am skipping the details. To reach from PB to HI one needs to take a ferry run by the navy from the nearest jetty. The tickets cannot be purchased in advance and since there are only so many people that can board a ferry, one has to reach early enough to purchase tickets to ensure the ferry can be boarded (However, with...
Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India garima.bansal The Andaman Islands is one of the most beautiful travel destinations i have visited so far.Id have liked to see Nicobar too but the Indian Navy has established itself there and consequently the government has managed to keep away travel-crazy wanderlust folk like me.
Day 1:
Falling in love with snorkeling
I can never ever ever forget my first snorkeling experience:the depth and contours that the ocean bed abounds with,the plethora of colors and shapes...Why does it have to be so c...
What can I say, the Andamans is heavenly. The island we stayed on is called Havelock and where most of the scuba diving is. The island is really small and covered with trees and forest. The beaches are beautiful and the water crystal clear. The weather was 30 every day....absolute heaven. We were there for 4 days, for 2 we went diving; 1 we rented a scooter and raced around the island looking for beaches and the other we just chilled on the resorts little beach. It was just idyllic!! The holi...
Port Blair, India markandali... the Andaman Islands in the month of October, 2009. Though we stayed in Port Blair for a couple of days, our main destination was the beautiful Havelock Islands.<br><br>Havelock Island is truly a beautiful island, and is one amonst the cluster of islands that forms the Andaman Island. Its famous for its pristine beaches, and primarily for the Radha Nagar Beach (Beach No. 7) and was once rated as Asia's best beach by Times Magazine. It sees the best weather from November to April. <br><br ...
Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India mywanderlust... our plane tickets for an early morning flight to Sri Lanka later that night. Since it was getting late and we just packed up our India guidebook, we just wandered around the area near the post office to find a guest house. Despite there being many guesthouses, though they seemed to be targeted towards locals and not foreigners, there were no vacancies. We must have walked around for over an hour, up and down stairs, tired and hungry, only be to told, "full." Just ...
Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India carrienica05... and banking facilities. We also watched the movie Swingers on telly - bliss! (You're so money, baby!) . . We had secretly harboured a little moron-plan to investigate the possibility of setting up a dive/surf shop on one of the Andamans islands but we've established we prefer a bit more infrastructure and communications. We've learnt our lesson and so the pipe dream dies... as you can see, we're not that bothered.
Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India moronsontour... somewhere half abandoned. The unit itself was alright, but we ended up moving to Pristine later and our two-story bamboo hut there was a thousand times better and had a beach view for the same money. Not to mention the fact that we were staying at Pristine, by far the coolest place on the planet. Alex, the owner, might be the nicest and funniest person alive, and his resort is a gathering place for a reason. I'm planning to go back to Havelock every winter and I'll be ...
Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India ninedeuceCheers from India!! I spent my last night in Sri Lanka in Negombo, a beach city just north of Colombo, the capital. The airport is so far north in the city that it is actually easier and cheaper to get to the airport from Negombo. And there really isn't anything thrilling to do in Colombo, even for one day. So I arrived back in Chennai and since I had a 5:50 AM flight to the Andaman Islands the next day I decided to find a hotel near the ...
Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India jeneggener... from Thailand too. <br><br>Our jeep took the narrow metalled road meandering through small villages and thick plantation of betel nut & coconut trees. We headed to Dolphin Yatri Nivas, a property owned by Andaman Tourism. The resort, 3 Kms. from the jetty and located right next to Vijaynagar beach, scores full marks for its proximity to the sea but needs to catch up miles in food, service, maintenance etc. The deluxe cottages, quite moderately priced, are newly ...
Havelock Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India soumitra.biswas... a great idea. The next day, when it was mentioned again and our friend was a little more sober, he started to back-pedal. Knowing that us camping there was illegal and that, should we be caught, we would simply be deported or fined whereas he might face worse punishment, he tried to put us off the idea. Snakes were mentioned and, when that had no effect, he talked of boatloads of Burmese refugees and police speed boats with guns. But, having planted the seed in our minds the ...
