Overview
Some destinations are best experienced with focus rather than frenzy. This 5 Days Andaman Havelock Island Tour Package takes that approach of spending prolonged time in Havelock Island and adding some much-needed historical and natural attractions of Port Blair to the itinerary. The result is a tour that allows depth of experience rather than breadth of coverage, ideal for those travelers who favor immersion over a checklist.
Port Blair is point of entry as well as the cultural anchor of this tour. The Cellular Jail remains the most historic place in the Andamans, which, through its architecture alone, narrates the story of the struggle of India’s independence. The individual cells, made for isolation and psychological torture, stand as a testament to what freedom fighters endured. The light and sound show turns this into an emotional experience, with narration that makes personal stories come alive on screen against the backdrop of the jail itself. Corbyn’s Cove Beach provides a softer introduction, a place where you can adjust to the slower pace of island life.
Ross Island adds another historical dimension. Once the administrative capital of the British regime, it was abandoned after independence, and then an earthquake. What is left is interesting: buildings being gradually swallowed by nature, roots penetrating walls, trees growing out of roofs. Deer and peacocks are now living where British officers formerly made empire business. It is accessible yet atmospheric, and only a short distance away by ferry ride but feeling incredibly isolated.
North Bay provides the water sports and coral viewing that many would be looking for in Andaman. The coral reefs here are huge and fairly shallow, and ideal for snorkeling beginners. Glass-bottom boat rides are another option for those who want to stay dry and observe the marine life. The variety of activities offered means that different members of the family, or travel companions, can choose their own level of adventure.
This is where this package sets itself apart from others: Havelock Island. Multiple days spent here means a different type of travel, a journey where you are not constantly packing and unpacking, where you can develop a familiarity with a place that you don’t just pass through. Radhanagar Beach requires little introduction as it is constantly ranked among the best in Asia. The quality of the sand, water clarity and general management of the beach earn the reputation. But having time on Havelock, you can go during different times of the day and experience sunrise, afternoon laps and sunset without rushing.
Kalapathar Beach offers contrast. Located far from the major tourist zones, it gets its name from the black rocks that dot the white sand coastline. The beach is more peaceful and fairly surrounded by thick forest and caters to those who are looking for solitude rather than a social atmosphere. It is very good for photography, especially bird photography, because of the relative isolation, and wildlife is more visible. The emerald water against black rocks and silver sand creates a fantastic contrast in sight.
