Love History? Plan your Next Trip to the Andamans

An Andaman vacay sounds perfect for a History-buff. Knowledge of the Indian freedom struggle will help you find a connection with this place. Walking around the Cellular Jail and witnessing the place where freedom fighters gave their lives is a different feeling. You have only read about the struggle, but witnessing the torturous place first-hand will instil a reverence that cannot be found in the pages. The strategic placement of the jail is awe-inspiring and blood-curdling at the same time. Check out the jail in Port Blair before heading for a hotel in Havelock. The Andamans offer an educational experience that most cannot ignore. It is an amalgamation of nostalgia, sociology, ecology, and entertainment.

History and Enjoyment

It is best to check out the following three from Port Blair before entering hotels in Andaman Havelock Island. Each of the following places needs boat rides, which have fixed timings.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island

Ross Island, also known as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island was once a seat of power for the British, but it is now in ruins. Bose had visited the island in 1943 and possibly hoisted the national flag in a show of defiance. As a tribute, it was named after him in 1980.

Viper Island

Ironically, it is the merciless deaths of countless freedom fighters that have made a beautiful place like Andaman Havelock Island, a major tourist spot now. For more taste of British colonialism, check out Viper Island. Indian political prisoners were kept and tortured here before being executed. Cellular Jail was made later, and this island was abandoned.

Samudrika Naval Marine Museum

On a lighter note, you can visit this museum, which comes under the management of the Indian Navy. It contains an exhibition of marine and tribal life, volcanoes, and various kinds of flora and fauna. You can spot a number of exotic fish in the aquariums there. It contains a wide collection of seashells, butterflies, snakes, and war currency. If your fascination with History is satisfied, entertain yourself with the enchanting views of Havelock Island beach.

Elephant Beach

Also, known as Swaraj Dweep, it is on Havelock Island itself. It is a true paradise. Its white sands, coral reefs and clear, pristine waters make it a traveller’s paradise. If you are an adventurer, then try snorkelling and other water sports like jet skiing, sea walking, etc.

Radhanagar Beach

It has possibly Asia’s best coastline. Its white beaches and tranquil blue seas are amazing. Watching a calm sunset is possibly the best thing to do after touring all over Andaman in search of History. Conclusion The History and tranquillity of the Andamans can have an interesting effect on people. Reflection and relaxation make people come back here more than once. For your next visit, book rooms at AQUAYS Hotels & Resorts for a luxurious stay.
