Turquoise water so clear you see fish without trying. White sand that’s actually white. Coral reefs teeming with clownfish families.

Travel Soft builds Andaman tour packages from Siliguri for travelers wanting real experiences. Not rushed itineraries where you’re back on the ferry before you’ve even settled in.
Why Andaman Keeps Pulling People Back
Here’s what most don’t realize until landing in Port Blair.
- Radhanagar Beach on Havelock: Time Magazine rated it Asia’s best beach. Not some travel blogger. Time Magazine. The sand contrasts against primitive jungles behind. The background is filled with thousands of sounds of birds and animals. “Beware of Crocodiles” signs at places. Secluded. Peaceful. Sunset there makes people just sit and watch. Nobody checks phones.
- Cellular Jail in Port Blair: Tells stories of freedom fighters. KaalaPani they called it. Black Water. The evening Light and Sound show hits differently when you’re standing where Veer Savarkar was imprisoned. History becomes real there.
- The Underwater World: Visibility goes up to 40 meters on good days. Over 30 dive sites around Havelock alone. Colorful coral formations—brain coral, staghorn, table corals. Tropical fish everywhere. Clownfish. Parrotfish. Angelfish. Sea turtles. Reef sharks. Some people come just for diving and nothing else.
Islands You Should Know About
Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)
Crown jewel. Renamed in 2018. About 113 square kilometers. Most visited after Port Blair.
- Radhanagar gets attention but Elephant Beach is where action happens. Access by boat in 20 minutes from the jetty or 40-minute jungle trek. Water sports galore. Jet skiing. Snorkeling. Sea walking. The underwater fun is too thrilling to resist—almost transparent waters rich in corals.
- Kalapathar Beach has black rocky shore creating a dramatic contrast. A small path leads to jungles that were once an elephant training camp. Fresh coconut and mango juice in season.
Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep)
Smaller. Calmer. The vegetable bowl of Andaman—grows the most fresh produce for the islands.
- Natural Bridge near Laxmanpur Beach: Stunning rock formation created by years of erosion. Best visited during low tide when you can walk through. The sunset view there is magical.

- Limestone caves formed over millions of years. Stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations. Cool dark caves creating an otherworldly atmosphere. Journey involves a thrilling speedboat ride through narrow mangrove-lined waterways. Dense mangroves create a natural tunnel effect. Might spot saltwater crocodiles. Seriously.
- Mud volcanoes: India’s only active ones. Watch mud bubbling and spurting from the ground. It looks like a lunar landscape.
- Parrot Island Thousands of parakeets return at sunset creating a spectacular show of green as they circle before roosting.
Ross Island
British administrative headquarters once. Now ruins are being reclaimed by nature. Tree roots forming natural columns through old buildings.
- Chief Commissioner’s House. The Gothic church still retains charm despite decay. British cemeteries with readable inscriptions. Japanese bunkers from WWII when they occupied the island.
Deer and peacocks roaming freely. Twenty minutes by boat from Port Blair. Light and Sound show narrating the island’s history.
