DAY 1: WELCOME TO PORT BLAIR

Assemble at Kochi Airport, Terminal 1 Departures. Please ensure to arrive at least 2 hours before the departure time for a smooth check-in process. Our flight today is with IndiGo, routing us through Bangalore to reach our destination. Depart from Kochi in the morning and arrive in Port Blair by 1:30 PM. Make sure to have all your travel documents handy for a hassle-free journey. Upon landing at Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair, you will be greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the Andaman Islands, truly a slice of paradise on Earth. After completing the airport formalities, we proceed for a group lunch at a local restaurant, giving you the first taste of the islands' delicious cuisine. Postlunch, we check into our hotel, where you can freshen up and relax a bit before we embark on our evening tour. Our first stop is the historic Chatham Saw Mill, one of Asia's oldest and largest sawmills. You'll learn about the rich history of this place and its significance during the British era. Next, we visit the iconic Cellular Jail, also known as 'Kalapani.' This colonial prison used to exile political prisoners and revolutionaries during the struggle for India's independence. The stories of heroism and sacrifice etched within its walls are deeply moving. As the evening sets in, we'll experience the poignant Light and Sound Show at Cellular Jail. This show vividly brings to life the struggles of the freedom fighters who were imprisoned here. After an enlightening evening, we return to our hotel for a sumptuous dinner. After dinner, you can retire to your rooms for a well-deserved rest. The comfort of the hotel will help you recharge for the adventures that await us in the coming days.

DAY 2: DISCOVERING ROSS ISLAND & NORTH BAY ISLAND

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at the hotel. We'll then set out for a day of exploration and adventure on the Andaman Sea. Our first destination is Ross Island, a testament to the British colonial period, now reclaimed by nature. The island serves as a hauntingly beautiful reminder of the past, with its overgrown ruins of colonial structures amidst thick forests. Upon arrival, take a walk through the island's historical ruins, including the church, swimming pool, and the Chief Commissioner's House. The juxtaposition of man-made structures and wild nature creates a mesmerizing effect. The island is also home to a friendly population of deer and peacocks, which are often spotted wandering among the ruins. Don't forget to capture these moments with your camera. Next, we'll head to North Bay Island, famous for its vibrant coral reefs and exciting water sports. This island is a paradise for those who love snorkeling and sea-walking, offering a close view of the underwater world. You'll have the opportunity to engage in various water activities (optional, at your own expense) such as snorkeling, sea walking, or even a semi-submarine ride, allowing you to explore the colorful marine life without getting wet. After an adventurous time, relax on the sandy beaches or indulge in some local delicacies at the beachside shacks. The island's serene beauty is perfect for those who prefer to relax and soak up the sun. As the day winds down, we'll make our way back to Port Blair. The boat ride back is a good time to reflect on the day's adventures and share stories with your fellow travelers. Night - Overnight Stay at Port Blair: Dinner will be served at the hotel, offering you a chance to savor more local cuisine. Enjoy your overnight stay at Port Blair, resting well for another exciting day ahead.

DAY 3: EXPLORING HAVELOCK ISLAND

Wake up to an early breakfast and prepare for an exciting day ahead at Havelock Island, named Asia's best island by Time Magazine. We'll board the ferry to Havelock Island, embarking on a journey to one of the most beautiful destinations in the Andaman archipelago. The ferry ride itself is an experience, offering stunning views of the open sea and surrounding islands. Make sure your cameras are ready to capture the scenic beauty. Upon arrival at Havelock Island, our first stop is the renowned Radhanagar Beach, ranked No. 10 globally. This beach is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, fine white sand, and lush green surroundings, making it a paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike. Spend your morning swimming, relaxing, and walking along the shore. The beach's serene environment provides a perfect backdrop for some introspection or simply unwinding with a book. After enjoying the morning at Radhanagar Beach, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant, sampling some of the freshest seafood and local delicacies. Post lunch, we proceed to Kalapathar Beach, another gem on Havelock Island. The beach is known for its beautiful black rocks (Kalapathar in Hindi) that contrast dramatically with the white sand and blue waters. In the late afternoon, prepare to witness a mesmerizing sunset at Kalapathar Beach. It's a moment when time seems to stand still, and the beauty of nature is at its peak. After sunset, we'll head back to Port Blair by ferry. The return journey offers a chance to reflect on the day's adventures and enjoy the cool sea breeze. Dinner will be served at the hotel, allowing you to relax and enjoy the end of a fulfilling day. Overnight at Port Blair, rest well and recharge for another day of exploration.

DAY 4: BARATANG ISLAND ADVENTURE

The day begins before dawn as we set out on an early morning journey to Baratang Island, an exciting part of your Andaman exploration. With a packed breakfast provided, you'll have the energy needed for the day's adventures. As we travel towards Baratang, keep an eye out for the Jarawa tribe reserves. The Jarawas are one of the indigenous tribes of the Andaman Islands, living in parts of the South and Middle Andamans. It's a unique opportunity to witness the preserved culture from a respectful distance. Upon arriving at Baratang Island, you'll find a world markedly different from the other parts of the Andamans. It's known for its lush mangrove creeks, dense forests, and unique geological formations. One of the day's highlights is a speed boat ride through the dense mangrove plantations leading to the magnificent Limestone Caves. These natural caves are a marvel of stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years. The journey through the mangroves to reach the caves is as thrilling as exploring the caves themselves. After the visit to the Limestone Caves, we'll pause for lunch, giving you a moment to relax and enjoy local flavors. Post-lunch, the adventure continues as we explore the intriguing phenomenon of the Mud Volcano, another natural wonder of Baratang Island. Though smaller and less dramatic than volcanic eruptions of lava, these mud volcanoes are a rare geological spectacle. As the day's explorations come to an end, we head back to Port Blair. The return journey offers a moment to reflect on the extraordinary experiences of the day. Dinner awaits at the hotel, offering a chance to unwind and share stories of the day's adventures with fellow travelers. Night - Overnight Stay at Portblair:
