Havelock Island is beautiful, but it’s also where most Andaman itineraries converge.
Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) is different, in a good way. You rent a cycle or a scooter, and suddenly the island feels yours.
Bharatpur Beach is where you snorkel; it has clear water, visible coral and easy access. Laxmanpur Beach is where you wait for sunset, watching the sky change colours slowly, without distraction. Sitapur Beach is quieter still, best experienced early in the morning when the light is soft and the island feels almost empty.
Then there’s the natural rock formation people call the Howrah Bridge; it is best seen during low tide, when the reef beneath becomes visible.
