ANDAMAN ISLAND

The fusion of world’s best class beach, exotic marine life, coral reef, lush green forest, when the group of 572 islands comes together makes ANADAMAN ISLAND. This island is exclusive, but it was anonymous for centuries because of their isolation. Although this place belongs to India but geologically it is closer to South East Asia.





Places of Interest:-


  • 1.      Radhanagar Beach :- White sand, turquoise blue water, tranquility are the distinctive characteristic of this stunning landmark. Located at Havelock Island, this one is known as Asia’s best beach & world’s seventh best beach. 






  •   Limestone Caves :- Situated at Baratang Island, 90 km away from Port Blair, Limestone caves have come well-known tourist charm. The route is similarly eye-catching as it covers through tribal reserves. Stalactite and stalagmites and limestone structure makes these caves remarkable. It is certainly worth visiting.






  • 1.      Cinque Island :- A nature reserve with unusual corals and under-water marine life, Cinque Island has fine sandy-beach and sand–bar connecting North and South Cinque Islands and tropical rain-forest. There is no organized ferry service to Cinque Island. To visit, one may contact private boat operators in Port Blair to hire a boat with due permission from the Forest Department.



 




  • 1.      Chidiya Tapu :- 30 kms away from the main city, Chidiya Tapu is situated.  This is the best place to see sunset and bird watching and hence this is also known as “Sunset Point" and "Bird Island”. Chidiya Tapu Biological Park, Chidiya Tapu Beach, and the Sylvan Sands and Munda Pahar beaches are the major fascination of this place.

5 Beautiful Islands in Thailand

Koh Phi Phi 

Phi phi island is a huge lump of persuasion. This island is talk of many tourist. Although they say this place is hyped, I don't believe it! The journey from ferry to phi phi island itself is so incredible. 





Koh Samui

Koh Samui is multiethnic island, captivating backpackers who wish to stay for months, or the filthy rich travelers who are willing to stay at villas for relaxing over the weekends. 




Koh Lanta 

This island is seventy km from Krabi and it's alluring getaway from the crowded and popular islands. The most appealing characteristics of this place is warm localities and untouched nature.




Koh Phangan 

Koh Phangan has become so equivalent with the mammoth Full moon party. But, this is not the sole magnetic reason to stay at Koh Phangan. Serene nature, crystal clear water, white sand makes tropical holiday worth it :-) 



Koh Tao

Although this island is small, it's becoming tourist favorite. It cater mostly to hikers, scuba divers & rock climber. Golden sandy beaches,isolated bays,and a scuba diving bliss, Koh Tao is  true tropical island escapes.



If you are really looking for economical vacation with extravagant nightlife as well as splendid nature to explore. Thailand is the perfect retreat.
