Top 10 Tourist Places in Andaman and Nicobar Islands You Must Visit (2026 Travel Guide)

Discover India’s Tropical Paradise: Your Ultimate Andaman Journey

Close your eyes and imagine this: powdery white sand between your toes, crystal-clear turquoise waters stretching endlessly before you, vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful marine life, and palm trees swaying gently in the tropical breeze. This isn’t a dream—this is the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India’s best-kept secret and one of the world’s most pristine tropical paradises.

Located in the Bay of Bengal, approximately 1,400 kilometers from mainland India, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are an archipelago of over 500 islands (though only about 38 are inhabited). These emerald jewels offer a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, history, and romance that calls to every traveler’s soul—whether you’re a honeymooner seeking secluded beaches, a family looking for safe adventures, or an adrenaline junkie craving underwater thrills.

As India’s premier best travel agency in Delhi, TravelPaa brings you this comprehensive 2026 travel guide to the top 10 tourist places in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. With over 44 years of expertise in crafting perfect island getaways, we’ve helped thousands of travelers discover this tropical paradise. Let’s dive into the aquamarine waters and explore what makes these islands unforgettable.

1. Radhanagar Beach (Beach No. 7), Havelock Island – Asia’s Best Beach

If there’s one beach that defines paradise on earth, it’s Radhanagar Beach. Voted “Asia’s Best Beach” by Time Magazine in 2004 and consistently ranked among the world’s top beaches, Radhanagar (also known as Beach No. 7) is where your Andaman dreams come alive.

Why Radhanagar Steals Hearts:

Picture this: a 2-kilometer stretch of pristine white sand so soft it feels like walking on clouds, waters so clear you can see your feet even waist-deep, and sunsets that paint the sky in impossible shades of orange, pink, and gold. The beach is framed by lush tropical forests on one side and the endless turquoise Bay of Bengal on the other, creating a postcard-perfect setting that seems almost unreal.

Best Experiences:

• Sunset Magic: Arrive by 4:30 PM to witness one of the world’s most spectacular sunsets
• Swimming Paradise: Gentle waves and shallow waters perfect for families with children
• Romantic Walks: Long stretches of secluded beach ideal for couples
• Photography Heaven: Every angle offers Instagram-worthy shots
• Forest Trekking: Short trails through surrounding forests for nature lovers
• Beach Picnics: Designated areas for family picnics under the palms

Best Time to Visit: October to May (calm seas, perfect weather)

Travel Tip: Visit during weekdays to avoid weekend crowds. The beach is about 12 km from Havelock jetty—rent a scooter or take a local taxi. Carry drinking water and snacks as there are limited facilities, but that’s part of its pristine charm.

TravelPaa’s Havelock Experience: Our Essential Andaman tour package includes dedicated time at Radhanagar with private beach access, romantic sunset arrangements for honeymooners, and professional photography options.

2. Cellular Jail, Port Blair – India’s Freedom Struggle Memorial

From tropical paradise to poignant history—the Cellular Jail stands as a somber reminder of India’s struggle for independence. Known as “Kala Pani” (Black Water), this colonial prison once held India’s most dangerous political prisoners and freedom fighters in harsh, solitary confinement.

Why This Historical Monument is Unmissable:

Built by the British between 1896 and 1906, the Cellular Jail is an architectural marvel with a dark history. Originally designed with seven wings radiating from a central tower like the spokes of a wheel, only three wings remain today. The jail housed hundreds of individual cells designed to prevent any communication between prisoners—hence the name “Cellular.”

Must-Experience:

• Museum Exhibition: Displays photographs, documents, and stories of freedom fighters like Veer Savarkar, Batukeshwar Dutt, and Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi
• Light and Sound Show: A powerful 45-minute show narrated by veteran actor Om Puri that brings history alive (Hindi: 6:15 PM, English: 7:15 PM)
• Solitary Cells: Walk through the actual cells where prisoners spent years in isolation
• Gallows: The hanging cell where many freedom fighters were executed
• Freedom Fighter Memorial: Pay respects at the martyrs’ memorial
• Watchtower Views: Climb to see Port Blair harbor

Best Time to Visit: Morning for museum (9 AM-12:30 PM, 1:30 PM-4:45 PM); Evening for Light & Sound Show

Entry Fee: ₹30 for Indians, ₹100 for foreigners; Light & Sound Show: ₹50-250

Travel Tip: Book Light & Sound Show tickets in advance, especially during peak season (December-February). The show is deeply emotional and provides crucial context for understanding India’s freedom struggle. Allow 2-3 hours for complete visit.

3. Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) – The Diving Capital

Havelock Island isn’t just a destination—it’s THE destination for water sports enthusiasts and beach lovers. Renamed Swaraj Dweep in 2018, this 113 sq km island is the crown jewel of the Andaman archipelago and the most visited island after Port Blair.

Why Havelock is Every Traveler’s Dream:

Beyond Radhanagar Beach, Havelock offers a complete tropical island experience with multiple pristine beaches, world-class diving sites, vibrant coral reefs, luxury eco-resorts, beach shacks serving fresh seafood, and a laid-back atmosphere that makes you forget the outside world exists.

Top Experiences:

• Scuba Diving & Snorkeling: Over 30 dive sites with visibility up to 40 meters
• Elephant Beach: Access by boat or 40-minute jungle trek; perfect for coral viewing and water sports
• Kalapathar Beach: Black rocky shore creating dramatic landscapes, ideal for sunrise photography
• Sea Walking: Walk underwater with special helmets—perfect for non-swimmers
• Kayaking Through Mangroves: Peaceful paddle through dense mangrove forests
• Island Hopping: Day trips to nearby uninhabited islands
• Beachside Cafes: Fresh seafood, wood-fired pizzas, and continental cuisine

Best Time to Visit: November to April (best diving visibility)

How to Reach: Ferry from Port Blair (2.5 hours by govt ferry, 1 hour by private catamaran)

TravelPaa’s Havelock Package: Our Andaman tour packages offer 2-3 nights on Havelock with beach resort stays, complimentary snorkeling, scuba diving options (certified instructors), and inter-island ferry arrangements.

4. Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) – The Vegetable Bowl

If Havelock is the party island, Neil Island is its serene, understated cousin. Smaller, quieter, and less commercialized, Neil Island (officially renamed Shaheed Dweep) offers an authentic tropical experience without the crowds. Known as the “Vegetable Bowl of Andaman” for its abundant produce, this 18.9 sq km island is perfect for those seeking peace and natural beauty.

Neil’s Unique Attractions:

1. Natural Bridge (Howrah Bridge): A stunning natural rock formation created by years of erosion, forming an arch over shallow waters. Best visited during low tide when you can walk through the formation. The sunset view here is absolutely magical.

2. Bharatpur Beach: Neil’s most popular beach, ideal for families with kids. The shallow, calm waters extend far into the sea, perfect for children to play safely. The beach is lined with shacks offering water sports like glass-bottom boat rides, jet skiing, and snorkeling.

3. Laxmanpur Beach: Known for its spectacular sunsets and natural coral formations. During low tide, you can walk far out and explore tide pools teeming with small sea creatures. The white sand beach is often deserted, offering complete tranquility.

4. Sitapur Beach: The sunrise beach of Neil Island, offering peaceful mornings with the sound of waves and golden light. Less crowded and perfect for meditation or yoga.

5. Coral Reef Viewing: Neil has some of the healthiest and most accessible coral reefs in Andaman, visible even from the shore during low tide.

Best Time to Visit: October to May; Visit during low tide to see the Natural Bridge

How to Reach: Ferry from Port Blair (3-4 hours) or from Havelock (1 hour)

Perfect For: Honeymooners seeking privacy, photographers, families wanting a slow-paced vacation

Travel Tip: Rent a bicycle or scooter to explore the island—it’s small enough to cover in a day but peaceful enough to stay for three. The local markets sell fresh vegetables, tropical fruits, and homemade jam.

5. Scuba Diving & Snorkeling Sites – Underwater Paradise

The Andaman Islands are home to some of the world’s richest marine biodiversity, with over 750 species of fish, 200+ species of corals, and countless other marine creatures. The crystal-clear waters (visibility 10-40 meters), warm temperatures (26-29°C year-round), and pristine coral reefs make this a diver’s paradise.

Top Diving & Snorkeling Spots:

1. Elephant Beach (Havelock): The most accessible snorkeling spot, just 20 minutes by boat from Havelock jetty. Shallow coral gardens visible from the surface, perfect for beginners and families.

2. North Bay Island (Port Blair): Ideal for first-timers with calm, shallow waters. Offers both scuba diving and sea walking. Glass-bottom boat rides available for non-swimmers.

3. South Button: Advanced dive site with deeper waters (30-40 meters), drop-offs, and large pelagic fish including manta rays, sharks, and barracudas.

4. Dixon’s Pinnacle: Underwater mountain rising from 35 meters depth, creating spectacular wall diving opportunities with diverse marine life.

5. The Wall (Havelock): Dramatic vertical drop-off covered in soft corals, sea fans, and sponges. Frequent sightings of turtles and reef sharks.

6. Ross Island (Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island) – Abandoned Paradise

Nature reclaiming man-made structures creates a hauntingly beautiful landscape on Ross Island. Once the administrative headquarters of the British in Andaman, this island was abandoned after India’s independence and an earthquake. Today, it’s a photographer’s dream where colonial ruins are overtaken by massive banyan tree roots, creating an ethereal, almost mystical atmosphere.

Ross Island’s Unique Appeal:

Walking through Ross Island feels like stepping into a post-apocalyptic movie. The British built a complete mini-city here with a church, bakery, stores, hospital, tennis courts, swimming pool, and even a printing press. Nature has slowly reclaimed everything—roots of giant banyan and ficus trees have grown through buildings, creating scenes reminiscent of Cambodia’s Angkor Wat.

What to See:

• Chief Commissioner’s House: The grandest ruin with tree roots forming natural columns
• Church: Gothic structure still retains its charm despite decay
• British Cemeteries: Old graves with readable inscriptions
• Japanese Bunkers: WWII-era structures built when Japanese occupied the island (1942-45)
• Light & Sound Show: Evening show narrating the island’s history
• Deer and Peacocks: Tame animals freely roam the island
• Museum: Small exhibition on colonial history

Best Time to Visit: Morning (7:30 AM-12:30 PM) or afternoon (1:30 PM-3:30 PM)

How to Reach: 15-minute boat ride from Port Blair’s Water Sports Complex (boats every 30 minutes)

Entry Fee: ₹30 for Indians, ₹100 for foreigners; Camera fee: ₹25

Time Required: 2-3 hours for leisurely exploration

Travel Tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes as paths are uneven. Carry water, though there are small refreshment stalls. The island is compact enough to explore on foot. Guided tours available at the jetty (recommended for historical context).

7. Baratang Island – Nature’s Hidden Wonders

For adventure seekers who want to venture beyond the usual tourist circuit, Baratang Island offers thrilling experiences and natural wonders found nowhere else in Andaman. Located about 100 km from Port Blair, this island is home to limestone caves, mud volcanoes, and dense mangrove forests.

Baratang’s Unique Experiences:

1. Limestone Caves: Natural caves formed over millions of years with stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations. The cool, dark caves create an otherworldly atmosphere. The journey involves a thrilling speedboat ride through mangrove creeks followed by a jungle trek.

2. Mud Volcanoes: India’s only active mud volcanoes! Watch mud bubbling and spurting from the ground—a rare geological phenomenon. The area looks like a lunar landscape.

3. Mangrove Creeks: High-speed boat ride through narrow mangrove-lined waterways is an adventure in itself. The dense mangroves create a natural tunnel effect, and you’ll spot various birds and occasionally saltwater crocodiles.

4. Parrot Island: Small island near Baratang where thousands of parakeets return at sunset, creating a spectacular show of green as they circle before roosting.

The Baratang Journey:

• 0530 AM: Convoy starts from Port Blair (travel through Jarawa Tribal Reserve requires police escort)
• 0830 AM: Arrive Middle Strait jetty for speedboat ride through mangroves
• 0900 AM: Trek 15 minutes through jungle to Limestone Caves
• 1100 AM: Visit Mud Volcano (30-minute drive from Baratang village)
• 1200 PM: Return journey

Best Time to Visit: November to April (caves are accessible; monsoons cause waterlogging)

Important Notes:

• Early Start Mandatory: Government convoy system requires 4-5 AM departure from Port Blair
• Jarawa Reserve: Photography and interaction strictly prohibited while passing through tribal areas
• Physical Fitness: Involves walking, jungle trekking, and boat rides
• Permits: Indian citizens need permit (arranged by tour operator)

Travel Tip: Book guided day trips—independent travel is complex due to convoy timings and permits. The journey is long but worth it for adventure enthusiasts and nature photographers.

8. North Bay Island & Coral Island – Water Sports Hub

The adrenaline capital of Andaman! North Bay Island, located just 30 minutes by boat from Port Blair, is where water sports enthusiasts come alive. Combined with a visit to nearby Coral Island (Viper Island can be clubbed too), this makes for an action-packed day trip.

Adventure Activities:

Water Sports at North Bay:

• Sea Walking: Walk on the ocean floor with a special helmet, perfect for non-swimmers (₹3,500-4,000 for 20-30 minutes)
• Scuba Diving: Shallow dive sites ideal for beginners (₹3,500-4,500)

Travel Tip: Book combination packages directly at the jetty for better rates than individual activities. Morning trips (8-9 AM departure) offer calmer seas and better visibility. Carry waterproof pouches for phones and valuables.

9. Mount Harriet National Park – Trekker’s Paradise

For those who want to experience Andaman beyond beaches, Mount Harriet offers lush green forests, diverse wildlife, and panoramic views. At 365 meters, Mount Harriet is the third-highest peak in Andaman and the starting point for several trekking trails.

Why Mount Harriet is Special:

Named after Harriet C. Tytler, wife of a British officer and an amateur ornithologist, this national park is a biodiversity hotspot. The park spans 46.62 sq km and is home to Andaman wild pig, saltwater crocodile, robber crab, and over 90 bird species including endemic Andaman wood pigeon.

Trekking Trails:

1. Mount Harriet to Madhuban (16 km): The most popular trek, taking 5-6 hours through dense tropical forests. The trail offers spectacular views of the islands and seas. Ends at Madhuban Beach (pristine and usually deserted).

2. Nature Trails: Shorter 2-3 km trails perfect for families and beginners, showcasing the park’s flora and fauna with interpretation boards.

3. Butterfly Trail: Seasonal trail (December-March) where you can spot over 50 butterfly species.

What to See:

• Bird Watching: Early morning is best for spotting endemic species
• British-era Forest Guest House: Historic structure now converted to museum

Best Time: November to February (pleasant weather for trekking); Early morning for bird watching

Entry Fee: ₹50 for Indians, ₹500 for foreigners; Camera fee: ₹25

How to Reach:

• By Road: 20 km from Port Blair, 45-minute drive
• By Ferry: Boat to Hope Town, then 20-minute forest walk

Travel Tip: Start early morning treks (6-7 AM) to avoid midday heat. Carry sufficient water (2-3 liters per person), snacks, mosquito repellent, and wear proper trekking shoes. Hire a local guide for the Madhuban trek (₹500-800) as trails can be confusing.

10. Jolly Buoy Island & Red Skin Island – Pristine Marine Sanctuaries

Located within Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, Jolly Buoy and Red Skin islands represent nature conservation done right. These uninhabited islands operate on a rotational basis—when one is open to tourists (November to May), the other remains closed for ecological recovery, ensuring coral reefs remain healthy and vibrant.

Why These Islands Are Special:

Jolly Buoy Island: Often called the “Maldives of India,” this island features crystal-clear waters where you can see the ocean floor even at 10-15 feet depth. The coral diversity here is among the best in Andaman, with healthy reefs in rainbow colors. The white sandy beach is pristine, and the surrounding waters are protected, meaning no motorized water sports—only snorkeling is allowed.

What Makes Them Unique:

• Unmatched Water Clarity: Visibility of 20-30 meters on calm days
• Protected Coral Reefs: No touching or standing on corals (strictly enforced)
• Sustainable Tourism: Limited daily visitors (around 500-600)
• Glass Bottom Boat: See reefs without getting wet
• Snorkeling Paradise: Shallow reefs perfect for beginners
• No Commercialization: No shacks, no music, just nature
• Pristine Beaches: Untouched white sand beaches

Marine Life You’ll Encounter:

• Vibrant hard and soft corals
• Clownfish (Nemo!), parrotfish, damselfish
• Sea cucumbers, starfish, sea urchins
• Occasional sea turtles
• Blue coral (rare species)

Best Time: November to May (park closed during monsoons)

How to Reach: Boat from Wandoor Beach (30 km from Port Blair), 45-minute journey

Entry Fee: ₹500-700 per person (includes boat, entry, snorkeling equipment, guide)

Rules (Strictly Enforced):

• No plastic allowed on the island
• No standing or stepping on corals
• No collecting shells, corals, or marine life
• No littering (carry back all waste)
• No loud music or alcohol
• Limited time on island (usually 2-3 hours)

Travel Tip: Book in advance during peak season (December-February) as daily visitor numbers are capped. Carry reef-safe sunscreen (regular sunscreen damages corals). Bring dry clothes for the boat return journey. Combine with a visit to Wandoor Beach for a full-day trip.
