Weekender Andaman

Arrival at Port Blair

Gear up for your memorable sojourn at the beautiful Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Our representative will meet you at the Airport and take you straight to your hotel.

Later in the afternoon, we take you to visit the Cellular Jail, a structure built by the British to assail Indian freedom fighters with atrocities and keep them away from fighting for India’s independence. Declared a national memorial, Cellular Jail was constructed by the British in 1906 and is spread over three levels. The jail, also known as Kala Pani, saw some of the most famous Indian freedom fighters being sent to the gallows in its premises. The day draws to a gentle close with the Sound and Light Show at the historic Cellular Jail, which gives you a vivid experience of its strong association with the freedom fighters and their struggle for independence. The long day ends with an overnight stay at the hotel.

Arrival at Havelock

After a hearty breakfast to start your day, we transfer you to the Havelock Jetty from where you will head to the Havelock Island onboard a cruise connecting two islands. An attraction frequented by foreigners until a few years ago, Havelock has gained a lot of popularity in the recent years among Indians who were almost unaware of its presence. Spread over a small area of about 86 km; the Island is being promoted as a major eco-tourism destination. Back at the jetty after discovering these beautiful islands, an Andaman Diaries representative will meet you and drive you to the hotel for check-in.
