Experience Andaman 6N/7D — 6 Nights / 7 Days
A 6 nights 7 days Andaman trip that gives Neil two nights before Havelock, taking in Bharatpur, the rock formation, Radhanagar and Vijay Nagar, with a Ross and North Bay day at the end.
About this itinerary
Six nights that put Neil before Havelock rather than after it. Port Blair opens with the Cellular Jail, then two nights on Neil cover Bharatpur, the natural rock formation and Laxmanpur.
Havelock follows with Radhanagar and the quieter Vijay Nagar Beach, and the trip closes with a Ross and North Bay boat day back at Port Blair. It suits travellers who want a calmer pace and both islands' beaches without rushing Neil.
