Monsoon magic in the Andamans: 5 reasons to go 🌦️⛈️
#1 Take a soulful walk along Radhanagar BeachAs you near Radhanagar Beach, all you notice at first is a glimmer of blue framed by tall, lush trees. Step closer and the vast shoreline unfolds like a dream. Sunlight reflects off the pristine white sand, making it sparkle like scattered diamonds—instantly revealing why this beach is ranked among the best in Asia. With very few visitors around, it often feels like you have this slice of paradise all to yourself.
#2 Step back in time at the Cellular Jail
Built in 1906, the iconic Cellular Jail, also known as Kala Pani, stands as a powerful reminder of India’s colonial past. Walk through the narrow, haunting cells where legendary freedom fighters were once imprisoned. In the evening, attend the Light and Sound Show, available in both Hindi and English, which movingly narrates the story of India’s freedom struggle.
#3 Snorkel through vibrant waters at Bharatpur Beach
Island hopping in the Andamans isn’t for the faint-hearted—the seas can be rough and the weather unpredictable. But trust us, snorkeling as a storm brews nearby is an unforgettable thrill. Head to Bharatpur Beach on Neil Island and dive into crystal-clear waters teeming with colorful corals and marine life. It’s an adventure you’ll proudly brag about later.
#4 Drive along the legendary Andaman Trunk Road
Although much of the Andaman Trunk Road is restricted, it is accessible to travelers heading to the limestone Alfred Caves in Diglipur. The journey includes an easy one-hour trek, rewarding you with fascinating cave formations that look even more dramatic during the monsoon. While in Diglipur, don’t miss Saddle Peak—the highest point in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
#5 Indulge in fresh, flavourful seafood
From cozy island cafés serving freshly caught fish to international delights like Israeli and Continental cuisine, food lovers are spoilt for choice in the Andamans. For the best seafood experience, Port Blair is the place to be. Don’t miss local favourites like Red Snapper and New Lighthouse Restaurant. Soak in the raw beauty of the Andaman Islands and create unforgettable monsoon memories. And when you return, don’t forget to share your favorite moments from this magical journey! 🌴✨
