My Name is Ansh, And I would like to share my experience when I was travelling to Andaman and Nicobar Island.
I was 17 years old and went on my summer vacation along with our Family.
Some Basic information about Andaman-
The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are unique. A paragon of beauty, these islands present a landscape of scenic and picturesque extravaganza, shimmering like emeralds in the Bay of Bengal.
Here I am with my next blog “A beautiful short trip to Andaman…”. I call it short because it was a 3 nights 4 days trip and mind my words this is very less to explore and see the beauty of Andaman and Nicobar islands.

The immigration procedure at that place was another long and chaotic but interesting process. Almost made me think of how it must have been to travel by passenger ship back in the Titanic days.
When the gate finally closed and all passengers and goods were on board, the boat still remained in the harbour and the whole night – until the early morning, when the high tide finally set in. Mobile and cellular data remained functional for about one whole day after departure – and then stopped after the ship left the Hubli river and entered into open sea.
The deluxe class cabin has two beds, TV, refrigerator, a wooden table and chairs and storage space as well as an attached bathroom. First class cabins contain four beds, a table, lockers and an attached bathroom. 2nd class cabins have six beds, with shared toilets and showers in the corridor. Bunk class beds are below sea level in one big area, separated by occasional walls. They have common toilets and showers that tend to get blocked, congested and overflow throughout the journey, and it seems there is barely any ventilation.
It is definitely advisable to bring your own food for the trip (especially fresh fruits), more so if you are selective about quality and hygiene. Restaurants on board are divided into deluxe class, first and second class, and bunk class. Coupons can be bought in advance or before every meal (INR 80-100 per meal, veg and non-veg). Breakfast consists of simple puris and curry, lunch is rice and daal (lentils) with vegetables and dinner is very much like lunch, but if you are lucky there will be chapatis too. And although I didn’t fancy eating all three meals here, the food on board was actually not as bad as I expected and kept me alive and in good health through the four days.
