Wonders of Notorious Island

Wonders of Notorious Island:- After visiting Goa, my desires to explore the Ocean was mounting every day, so my husband and I planned a trip to Andaman. We buy a holiday package of Andaman. Boarded on the flight from Chennai and De-boarded at Port Blair, glancing over from a plane the islands was shining like emeralds in the Bay of Bengal, presenting their treasure of nature. The islands were showing off its diversity from rest of India. The territory offers an interesting blend of nature and history. The islands notorious for one of the most infamous prisons of British India.

The chaotic beauty of the islands erects a romantic atmosphere. Here is some list of freakish things we relish in Andaman and Nicobar Islands:

Wander at Cellular Jail:

The first day we visited the cellular jail. The popular site in port Blaire, built during the British rule to reside political prisoners far away from the mainland. The light and sound show telling the stories from Buddhist period to Independence of India recited in a soul-quenching voice of Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi. The cost of visiting the jail is 30₹ and to see light and sound show you need to pay 50₹ extra. The site has national monuments with gardens seeming odd with the terror of place.
