You know that dream most of us have had in which we are running on a beautiful beach with wind in our hair? That beach is on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. An archipelago of around 300 gorgeous islands in the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have pristine white-sand beaches surrounded by mangrove forests. And with its active marine life, it has become one of the most popular Andaman tourism destinations for scuba diving and snorkelling in India.

The best way of reaching these islands is to take a direct flight to Port Blair, the capital, from New Delhi, Kolkata or Chennai. Those looking to be more adventurous inAndaman, though, can opt for a the regular passenger ship services to the capital that are available from Kolkata, Visakhapatnam or Chennai. These ships serve as an exciting part of Andaman.
