Havelock Islands (Andaman and Nicobar Islands)

Andaman is one of the amazing creations of the Almighty. Situated right in the middle of the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal, this archipelago has a number of stunningly beautiful beaches and scuba diving spots, Havelock Islands become one of the most beautiful dive sites in India. Located about 50 km away from Port Blair, the island has a wide range of exotic marine life like Humpback Parrotfish, Lionfish, soft corals, rare dugongs, and schools of colorful fishes. To get there, one can fetch a ferry from Port Blair which would take about 2.5 hours.

There are many interesting sites upon reaching there like there is The Wall, Lighthouse, Aquarium, Mac Point, etc., each with its own unique features. The hotels and resorts are also pretty good- affordable and up to the mark. And yes, do not forget to take basic necessities with tourists like sunscreens, lotions, etc., because these things are not available there. Although the place has ATMs, it might just be a little more advisable to take some hard cash with tourists.
