Travelling can teach you more than anything, you get to learn about the culture of the place you visit. If you will talk to local people, you will likely learn about their thinking, habits, traditions, and history as well. Also, you will notice the cultural differences, then you will find out what makes your culture unique. After returning from a trip, you will see your place in a different way.
Some of my most admired memories are from the times when I was traveling. Last night, I was showing my Andaman pictures to my friends and I went through my travel diary, which was related to Andaman. If you will travel Andaman, you can experience things that you could never experience at any place… It is situated in the Eastern part of India in the Bay of Bengal. The capital of Andaman and Nicobar Islands is the Port Blair City where the “Vir Savarkar International Airport” is situated. You may see beautiful Adventure places and Beaches that do not exist where you live. You may meet new people who have a different culture that will change your life and your thinking.
Andaman Island is one of the best holiday destinations in India. Many people choose Andaman for its Nature and Beaches, Expense depends on the type of hotel that you choose. The average cost of a trip to this island starts from INR 20,000 to 30,000k per person.
There are some top famous destination of the islands in Andaman, where I have visited last year like:
