101 Places to Visit in Andaman: Popular Islands in Andaman 

1. Havelock Island

You can’t miss Havelock Island when you are on a trip to Andaman islands. Havelock Island isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling. The moment you step off the ferry, the salty breeze and swaying palms make it clear: you’re somewhere special. The island, part of India’s Andaman archipelago, is a dream for anyone who loves the ocean. Radhanagar Beach, often ranked among the best in Asia, has sand so soft it feels like powder, and the water? A shade of blue you’d think was Photoshopped.

But the real magic is beneath the waves. Snorkeling or scuba diving here is like entering another world, with vibrant coral reefs, playful fish, and if you’re lucky, a gentle sea turtle gliding by. Even if adventure isn’t your thing, Havelock’s slow pace and hidden beaches make it perfect for doing absolutely nothing—just lounging in a hammock, sipping coconut water, and letting the world fade away.

The food scene’s another win. Whether it’s fresh seafood grilled with local spices or simple beachside cafes serving the best prawn curry you’ll ever have, every meal feels like an experience.

Havelock isn’t just a destination—it’s one of those rare places that stays with you, long after you’ve left.

1. Neil Island

Neil Island is like Havelock’s quieter, underrated sibling—but in the best way possible. If your looking for peace, untouched beauty, and a place where time just slows to a crawl, this is it. With lesser crowds and a more laid-back vibe, Neil Island is perfect for travellers who just wanna soak in nature without the rush.

The beaches here have thier own charm. Laxmanpur Beach is a must-visit for it’s jaw-dropping sunsets, where the sky turns into a masterpiece of orange and pink. Bharatpur Beach is where you’ll find crystal-clear water and some of the best snorkeling spots, filled with colorful corals and marine life. And then there’s the famous Natural Bridge—a stunning rock formation shaped by the waves over centuries, making for an incredible sight, especially during low tide.

What makes Neil Island special is its simplicity. Theres no rush, no chaos—just small villages, friendly locals, and a handful of beachside shacks serving ridiculously good seafood. Whether your cycling through its scenic roads or just swinging in a hammock under a coconut tree, Neil lets you experience the Andamans at your own pace. It’s a little slice of paradise, without all the noice.

1. Ross Island (Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island)

Ross Island is like stepping into a time machine, but instead of the future, your thrown back into a forgotten past. Once the British capital of the Andaman Islands, today it’s an eerie yet beautiful mix of ruins, nature, and history all tangled together. Walking through the island, you’ll see old colonial buildings overtaken by massive tree roots, almost as if nature is reclaiming what was once her’s. The abandoned church, the delapidated bakery, and the crumbling officers’ quarters all tell storys of a time long gone.

But Ross Island isn’t just about history. The place has this weird, almost magical feel, where peacocks roam freely, deers wander around like they own the place, and the ocean crashes against it’s rocky shores. It’s small enough to explore in a couple of hours but leaves a lasting impression.

One of the best things? The light and sound show in the evening—it brings the island’s past to life, making you feel like your right there in British India. It’s haunting, it’s beautiful, and it’s definitely worth visiting if your in the Andamans. Just be ready for that mix of nostaliga and wonder as you explore its quiet, broken paths.
