We all have different dreams when it comes to voyaging. Some of us might want to visit some deserts and witnessed the endless parts of sand and there are people wanting to go for some adventurous trekking trip. But I’ve always wanted to get lost in the pristine and unexplored beauty that only an island destination can provide. And for Indians, why travel the seven seas and go to Hawaii, Santorinin and all, when we have our Hidden Paradise The large Andaman and Nicobar Islands, located in the heart of the Bay of Bengal and offers a heady mix of nature, culture and history.
