Land at Veer Savarkar International Airport and transfer to your budget hotel; drop bags, freshen up, and get ready to explore. Start with a visit to the Anthropological Museum to learn about Andaman's indigenous cultures, then stroll through the nearby Aberdeen Bazaar to soak up local life and pick up fresh fruits and snacks for later.
After a light pure-vegetarian thali at New Lighthouse Restaurant or a local veg-friendly cafe, head to Corbyn's Cove Beach for a relaxed afternoon — walk along the shore, take photos of the coconut-fringed coastline, and try coconut water from a roadside vendor. If time allows, visit the Fisheries Museum & Aquarium to see local marine life and gain context for the islands you'll visit next.
Return to town for the Cellular Jail precinct visit, arriving before sunset to explore the grounds and the poignant memorials at dusk. After the light-and-sound show (book tickets in advance), enjoy a purely vegetarian dinner at Cook's Hangout or Annapurna, sampling local veg seafood alternatives and South Indian classics to end your first day on a comforting note.
After breakfast at your hotel or a nearby pure-veg eatery like Annapurna, return to the Cellular Jail precinct for a deeper daytime exploration of the museum and memorial galleries, where personal stories of freedom fighters and colonial-era artifacts bring history to life. Take a guided walk around the jail complex and the poignant Kala Pani memorial, then pause at the Jetty Viewpoint for photos of the harbor and a quiet moment reflecting on yesterday’s visit at dusk.
Head to the nearby Fisheries Jetty area and explore local markets around Aberdeen Bazaar, browsing for handicrafts, shells, and packaged spices; stop at New Lighthouse Restaurant or Cook's Hangout for a hearty pure-vegetarian thali or South Indian meal to refuel. After lunch, visit the Samudrika Marine Museum for an in-depth look at Andaman’s marine ecology and tribal anthropology, then stroll along the Marina Park promenade to watch fishermen and enjoy fresh coconut water from street vendors.
Return to the Cellular Jail precinct before sunset to catch the iconic Light & Sound Show that dramatizes the struggle for independence — arrive early to secure seats and soak up the theatrical narration and projections on the jail facade. After the show, walk back toward Aberdeen Bazaar and pick a pure-veg dinner at a local favourite, sampling chutneys, dosas or veg curries, and browse late-night stalls for souvenirs before heading to your hotel to rest up for the Havelock day trip tomorrow.
Catch an early ferry from Phoenix/Janet Jetty in Port Blair to Havelock (book tickets in advance) and arrive refreshed at Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex; transfer to your budget guesthouse, drop bags, and head straight to Radhanagar Beach (Beach No.7) to claim a shady spot and enjoy the soft white sand and turquoise surf. Rent a beach umbrella or take a short guided walk along the cliff viewpoint for sunrise photos, then grab a hearty pure-vegetarian breakfast at a nearby cafe — try thali or masala dosa at Anju Coco or Full Moon Café.
Spend the afternoon swimming, sunbathing, and exploring Radhanagar’s western stretch, or join a certified snorkelling trip from the beach or the marina to spot clownfish and colourful coral (opt for a group snorkel to keep costs low). For a relaxed lunch, return to Havelock’s Market Road for a pure-veg meal at Namaste Café or SilverSand’s veg options, then visit Kala Pathar Beach for quieter vibes and shoreline walks before heading back to the jetty area.
Before boarding your late-afternoon or early-evening ferry back to Port Blair, watch the spectacular sunset from Radhanagar’s shoreline or the adjacent viewpoint, then pick up fresh fruit or packaged island snacks from the local stalls for the ferry ride. Arrive back in Port Blair, transfer to your hotel, and finish the day with a comforting pure-vegetarian dinner at Cook's Hangout or Annapurna, reflecting on the day’s beach time and underwater glimpses.
Catch an early passenger ferry from Phoenix/Janet Jetty to Neil Island and arrive at Neil Kendra Jetty in time for a peaceful coastal stroll; drop a small bag at a local budget guesthouse or cloakroom and head straight to Laxmanpur Beach to watch the morning light play on the sand. Walk along the western stretch to the famed Natural Bridge (Howrah Bridge) to admire the unique rock formations and take photos, then refuel with a pure-vegetarian breakfast — try idli-sambar or a veg thali at a beachside cafe like Sea Shells or local dhaba-style stalls.
After a short siesta and coconut water under the palms, cycle or hire a scooter to Bharatpur Beach for clearer shallow waters and optional low-cost snorkelling or glass-bottom boat rides to spot reef fish; relax on the sand and enjoy a simple vegetarian lunch at a nearby eatery offering dal, veg curry and rice. Spend remaining time wandering Neil’s quiet lanes to pick up homemade jams, spices or shell souvenirs from local shops before returning to the jetty well ahead of your scheduled ferry to Port Blair.
Arrive back at Port Blair’s jetty and transfer to Veer Savarkar International Airport or your hotel depending on your flight schedule, taking a last walk through Aberdeen Bazaar if time allows to grab packaged snacks and spices for the journey home. Finish your trip with a comforting pure-vegetarian meal at Annapurna or Cook's Hangout near the airport or hotel, reflecting on the calm beaches, the Natural Bridge, and the island highlights collected over four busy days.
