Day 3 - 27 Jan 2020

Move towards Neil Island after breakfast. Less than 14 square kilometers in area, this is a flat, tiny island where the pace is relaxed and the Rosogollas are to die for. Equally mesmerizing are the sunset at Lakshmanpur beach and natural rock-bridge formations.

Note > Prepare > Accept > Embrace

  • This trip requires some long sea-bound journeys. If you are easily sea-sick or motion-sick, please reconsider.
  • You should be carrying a small towel and your swim-wear on most days. Trip lead will advise accordingly.
  • Please remember that Andaman archipelago is a group of islands and weather patterns sometimes get unpredictable. In a situation where the sea is rough, the trip lead may be forced to reshuffle the activities, because safety is our major concern. We give our heart and soul to make sure that you get to do everything we have planned. But “act of God” is something we cannot control.
  • The day you are travelling to Baratang will start very early. You are supposed to leave your stay at 3AM.  In case the Grand Andaman Trunk road is open, Baratang journey goes through Jarawah forest which is highly protected. They start at 6AM and we intend to join the first convoy itself to avoid reaching late. For this, it is necessary that we are amongst the first in line and complete the formalities of ID etc before the gate open. There will be multiple ferry crossings on this day.
  • While  crossing Jarawa Reserved area; please don’t click the picture of tribes or not to feed anything maintain the time as per tour executive or by the driver, Since it a Tribe Reserve area, Vehicle will not be stopping for anything between reserve areas (convay)If the Grand Andaman Trunk Road Going  to Close, We have to travel Baratang Island by Govt. Ferry
  • We are not allowed to stop in the forest so use the loo before starting the journey.
  • Most of our days will be starting early in order to catch the convoy or meet the entry time of a limited-permit island. Please follow trip lead’s guidelines on timings.
  • Coral and Shell collection is prohibited and punishable by law under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.
  • SCUBA can be scheduled during your stay in Havelock. Please notify the trip lead ontime.
  • A little bit of walking will be required on the beaches and around the natural bridge at Neil.As for the Munda Parbat trek (2.5 hours in all), you can choose to opt out and relax at the Chidiya Tapu beach instead. We do hope you join it, though. It is worth it.
  • The ferry transport to and from Havelock may be on government ferry or a small private ferry called Macruzz. The govt ferry will allow you to stand on the deck and experience the sea wind in your hair. Do try being there instead of sitting in the cabin. It is magical. Macruzz will not allow this as it is a small cruiser.
  • On days we have activities and long road journeys, delays are inevitable. We will try to mitigate them, but please do expect slightly late lunches. Carry your snacks.
  • Our group could be a mix of vegetarians and non-vegetarians. We will ensure that you get the food for your preference, but please remember that it is an island destination famous for its sea-food. So while you will get your vegetarian food, kindly understand that the restaurant will also be serving non-veg. If you are a non-vegetarian, please do not be offended if your fellow traveler may opt for a different table because she may not be okay with the smell.
  • Network is bad even in Port Blair. Chances of BSNL working are higher in Port Blair. North Andamans, Middle Andamans and Neil will have non-existent network. Havelock will be patchy.
  • While returning, please remember that you will have to reach Port Blair airport at least 2 hours in advance. It is a small airport and takes a lot of time to check-in.
  • All ferries require the passengers to report an hour prior to departure.

NOTE ABOUT SMOKING & ALCOHOL:

Everyone joining is an adult and we realise that we cannot dictate the behaviour on how you should enjoy the trip. All we ask is to drink responsibly. Hangover delays are going to cost a lot, and will not be tolerated at all. So please do not test your limits and enjoy in moderation. Also, do respect your roommate’s comfort levels with the alcohol smell and avoid drinking in the room if she is not comfortable.
If you smoke, please do so outside the room, even if the rooms have ashtray.

Andamans, Jan 2018

“My F5 trip to the Andaman Islands was excellent! It was my first with F5 and I was thoroughly impressed. Almost every aspect was well organized, which was no easy task especially in the more remote parts of the North Andamans. We lucked out with a wonderful group that was adventure-loving, humorous and considerate. We were led by a lovely tour lead, who was enthusiastic and accommodating. I highly recommend a trip with F5 and congratulate them for the amazing work they are doing for women’s travel in India. I look forward to many more trips myself! Thanks F5 Escapes :)”
