Andaman Thrills 6N/7D — 6 Nights / 7 Days
A 6 nights 7 days Andaman trip that pairs four nights in Port Blair, with the Baratang limestone caves and Chidiya Tapu, and two nights on Havelock for Radhanagar and Elephant Beach.
About this itinerary
Six nights that lean into Andaman's land and forest as much as its beaches. Four nights in Port Blair open room for the Cellular Jail, the Baratang limestone caves reached through the Jarawa reserve, and the birdlife at Chidiya Tapu.
Two nights on Havelock then bring Radhanagar Beach and an Elephant Beach snorkelling trip, before a sunset at Corbyn's Cove closes the circuit. It suits travellers who want caves, forests and beaches rather than beaches alone.
