Flights from Port Blair to any other island in the Andaman requires a degree of courage, we must say. The sea is choppy and the weather unpredictable, but we can guarantee that nothing beats snorkeling with a storm approaching. Go to Neil Island Bharatpur Beach and get lost in the colorful coral reefs and rich marine life. Bragging about this adventure to your friends later!

# 4 Take a walk on the Andaman Trunk Road

While the Andaman Trunk Road remains a restricted zone for tourists, it is open to those who go to the limestone Alfred Caves in Diglipur. To reach the caves, you have to trek for about an hour, which is not very difficult. The caves assume a different shape during the monsoon season. On your day trip to Diglipur, you must also visit the Saddle Peak, the highest point in the archipelago.

# 5 Relish Delicious Seafood
