Revealing the Andaman Uniquely

Revealing the Andaman Uniquely

Recently I visited Manali and I would like to say that was a regular trip. We were in a group of 6 people and we just did the activities what others did. I felt that was a common trip and from that onwards I decided to travel in my own style. I planned to travel Andaman and urged my friends to do this trip in unique way. We decided to visit Andaman in off season, as I try to avoid rush during my visit to Andaman. We booked our Andaman tour package and wrapped up our office and house work. We had flight to catch on 23th May. We began our trip with a loud cheer at airport. We were in Indigo flight that took around 5 hours to reach there. Once we got off from flight the surrounding and fresh air pleased us. We went to our resort freshen up and had some sea food, I want to mention if you are a non-vegetarian you must try sea food. After boosting ourselves we decided to explore Havelock.

Snorkeling and undersea walking at Elephant beach (Havelock)-Our trip began from Havelock Island dock. The boat took us to Elephant beach. After reaching Elephant beach we rested and relaxed for a moment. I was waiting for my turn for sea walk as the experience was on the basis of first come first serve. I was accompanied by expert guide that helped me to enjoy my first sea walk. After Snorkeling and Sea walking we returned to Havelock.

Kayaking around the mangroves- Havelock is one of the best places for kayaking. At jetty we got familiarized with how to use a kayak and once we were ready we took a kayak in to the rich mangroves. The whole tour took around 3 hours. The whole activity was thrilling and we enjoyed a lot.

Exploring the unparalleled beauty of Cinque island- The Cinque Island is 26 K.M. away from Port Blair. We reached there by boat and explored coral reefs, rocky isles, sand bar, colourful fishes, shells, starfish and sea anemones. The place surrounded by coral reef gardens and extends to a few hundred meters into deep sea.

The Glass bottom boat ride- This is a breathtaking view of sea on glass boat ride was something unique I never had before. The trip started once we reached Andaman water sports complex. Explored the underwater reef without getting wet.

We had an amazing trip of Andaman, after doing some usual activities we returned to Delhi. The trip will remain unforgettable. I suggest you whenever you plan for trip, make homework on your destination what are the offbeat activities and place to explore there and I am sure your trip will be exceptional.
