A vacation is the perfect way to unwind, but it can get quite taxing with all the exhaustive research that one has to do on where to go and what to eat. In order to make vacaying super easy for y’all, we’ve compiled a full list of the most stunning and beautiful islands to visit once you land up in Andaman & Nicobar. Fair warning - you won’t wanna go back home once you park your wagons at these incredibly gorgeous locales, so hold onto your hats, scroll on and make your plans!

1. Havelock Island

Havelock is one of the most popular islands to visit in this part of the world! It's well connected to the capital city of Port Blair and this makes it all the more accessible. The beaches found here are breathtaking - Radhanagar Beach being one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, and the lush green forests surrounding the beaches make it ideal for long treks. It's also well known for its dive sites and rich underwater life, so make sure you pack your snorkelling gear!

2. Neil Island

Located in Ritchie's Archipelago, the unexplored biodiversity here is the main attraction of this island. Rich coral reefs, white sandy beaches and palm-fringed shores dominate the scenery at Neil. The beaches here are beautiful and derive their names from mythical characters (Bharatpur, Sitapur and Laxmanpur etc.). After the hustle & bustle of Havelock, visit Neil for some quiet time in the lap of nature!

Full of beautiful beaches, architectural ruins and parks, Ross Island is located in the South of Andaman. The whole island can be covered on foot - it's that small, so it’s perfect for a quick day trip. Places to visit include Mount Harriet National Park, day trips to the mangrove creeks or to simply spend a lazy day lounging about on the beach. Sounds ideal, doesn’t it?!

This island is located on the North side of Andaman and is one of the largest ones! The whole island is covered with pristine palm-fringed beaches, dense rainforests and is the best place to surf through the waters in India. The relaxed and laid back atmosphere of the island adds to its charm and we simply can’t gush enough about this one!

Barren Island plays host to the only active volcano in the country and is located in the Andaman Sea. This place is only meant for day visits, for a seaplane ride around the island to marvel at South Asia’s only active volcano! A dangerous terrain otherwise, the only way you can access the island is by a helicopter ride or a seaplane ride. Sounds good to us!
