Amazing Andaman

Radio jockey Disha Oberoi recently travelled to the Andaman Islands and shares her list of must-do activities.

SCUBA DIVING
Visiting the Andaman is never complete without scuba diving. With the cleanest waters you would ever possibly get to see in India, it has one of the best coral and marine life that shouldn't be missed.

BEACH & TEMPLE RUN
Visit the Radhanagar beach in Havelock Island, voted Asia’s best beach this year, ahead of Thailand, Bali and Malaysia. It’s like walking right into a postcard - you can wade into the clean, calm water and feel your feet sink into the sand bed. There are also secret temples which you can visit. Overall, the beach is simply fabulous, but beware of snakes!

SEAFOOD CUISINE
They have the juiciest prawns and the fanciest variety of seafood available here. Exotic fish, lobsters and mussels are among the several delicacies up for grabs at almost all restaurants on the island. Bengalureans are deprived of fresh catch due to the lack of water bodies, so stuffing your face with seafood is something strongly recommended.

WATER SPORTS
Jet ski rides and diving are activities that you shouldn’t miss. My experience on the water scooter was crazy. I did exactly what Aamir Khan & Co did in Dil Chahta Hai - jump off the jet ski midway through the ride! I can strike that off my checklist now. Activities such as the wreck dive, night dive and deep sea dive are my other recommendations.
