Andaman Sand & Sun LTC 4N/5D — 4 Nights / 5 Days
A 4 nights 5 days Andaman LTC tour that pairs two nights in Port Blair with two on Havelock, from the Cellular Jail to Radhanagar and Elephant beaches.
About this itinerary
This short LTC circuit keeps to the two islands most first-time visitors come for. Port Blair gives you the Cellular Jail and its Light and Sound show, a harbour day out to Ross and North Bay, and time around Aberdeen Bazaar.
Havelock then takes over with a Radhanagar sunset and a complimentary snorkelling session at Elephant Beach. Five days is enough for the headline sights without a rushed feel.
