Andaman Islands
The Andaman Islands are India's tropical escape — white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and the forest-covered archipelago that time mostly forgot. Port Blair's Cellular Jail narrates the islands' freedom-fighter history, while Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) islands offer the diving, snorkelling, and beach life that draw most visitors. Radhanagar Beach is regularly ranked among the world's best.
