The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are one of the best beach destinations in India. With sun-kissed beaches, stunning coastlines, and tropical forests, these islands make for the perfect honeymoon getaway. The capital city of Port Blair is the getaway to these islands. The National Memorial of Cellular Jail is an important attraction here. Visit it and you’ll know why – Indian political prisoners were kept here by the British during the struggle for independence.  The Light and Sound Show in the evening will definitely instill a sense of patriotism in you, it did for me!

Coming back to beaches, did I tell you that the Radhanagar Beach here had been named as the best beach in Asia?! It is just one of the many beaches that dot the island. Adventure activities are available in plenty in Andaman. Scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, and swimming are some activities you can try for that adrenaline rush. That’s not all, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are filled with a diverse set of flora and fauna that you can explore. While few forests are off-limits for tourists, ones like the Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve and the Parrot Island can be visited. Finally, watching the crimson sunset from one of its beaches is the perfect way to end your day. Book an Andaman honeymoon tour package and rekindle your love with your soul mate.
