We’re nearing the end of 2024 and if you still haven’t found the perfect travel destination, fret not. We have just the spot that will make you want to pack your bags.

Whether you’re a classic beach bum, nature and adventure lover, foodie or a history buff – here are six fantastic reasons why Malaysians should absolutely visit the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Thank us later!

 

1. Sun, sand and serenity 

Of course, what’s an island vacation without spending some time on the beach? Corbyn’s Cove Beach in Port Blair is the perfect place to unwind with its serene waters and various water sports activities like scuba diving, surfing, jet skiing, and boating. It’s great for those who love to take on the ocean with a little bravery.

Another option is the Radhanagar Beach in Havelock — known as one of the best beaches in Asia and ranked as the 7th most beautiful beach in the world. It offers perfect conditions for water activities and the sunset here is absolutely mesmerising!

 

2. Dive into the underwater world 

If you’re someone who is captivated by the uniqueness of diverse marine life, you should stop by the North Bay Island or the Coral Garden. Famous for its vibrant underwater ecosystems, it is surrounded by colourful coral reefs and tropical fish such as Clark’s anemone fish and the Yellowtail Clownfish.

If you prefer to enjoy the view from the surface, then hop onto a glass bottom boat. Perfect for those who do not want to miss out on the breathtaking coral reefs and marine life without having to dive in.

 

3. A history lesson you won’t forget 

For history lovers, one of the must-see spots is the Cellular Jail – also known as the ‘Kālā Pānī’ – a historical landmark that showcases India’s struggle for freedom. Be sure to stick around for the Light and Sound Show, a fantastic play that brings the Island’s memorable past to life.

Additionally, you can also stop by the Samudrika Naval Marine Museum to learn about the history of the Andaman Islands through its marine life. This museum houses a unique collection of marine specimens such as the giant mollusc shell and more.

 

4. Trek your way through lush greenery 

Of course, we can’t forget nature lovers, can we? The Andaman Islands offer incredible trekking opportunities such as the Mount Harriet National Park which offers scenic trails that lead you through lush forests.

If the gentle breeze and the soothing chirp of birds put you in a zen-like moment, then you most definitely want to head on over to Chidiya Tapu – known for its tranquil beaches and bird sanctuary.

 

5. A gateway to island-hopping adventures

Why explore just one island when you can hop between three? The Andaman Islands are home to several beautiful spots such as Havelock, Neil, and Baratang Island – each offering its own unique experiences. From beach holidays to forest treks and limestone caves to mud volcanoes, there’s always something new to discover.

 

6. Taste the flavours of Andaman 

No trip is complete without indulging in some local flavours, right? The Andaman Islands offer a heavenly mix of local Andamese dishes and fresh seafood.

Get ready to indulge in mouth-watering dishes like fish curry, crab masala, and tandoori seafood that’ll transport your taste buds to the heart of Coastal Indian cuisine.

A significant part of Indian cuisine is the delightful variety of sweets. After a savoury meal, be sure to try the traditional coconut-based sweets and finally, wash it all down with some refreshing tropical fruit juice.
