Besides, it is a small island which makes it ideal for spending a couple of days, ideally. The widest part is about 5 kilometers. If you start walking, covering the island may take just 2 hours or so. It is somewhat warmer than neighboring Havelock and so lacks forest cover.This island has enough places where you can relax or laze around in afternoon watching the sunset and staring at the vast blue sea. There are not many amenities and the beaches may not be lavish but that can actually be bliss in disguise, more so if you prefer serenity.

Mangrove Walkway Dhanih Nallah

The Dhani Nallah beach is also a popular nesting spot for sea turtles. You will be able to spot a small hut named Olive Ridley which is the most common turtle species found on the beach. You can also enjoy a picnic with your loved ones under a shed or a tree for a soothing and fun experience. There are sunbeds, benches and swings at the beach from where you can enjoy stunning views of the whole beach. You can also climb up the bamboo tower, take aesthetic photos with a backdrop of the open sea and admire the serene nature around you. The water at the beach remains calm and you can enjoy swimming with your group for a wholesome experience.

Shashi Naik Helicopter Trip on Andaman Islands: Port Blair- Diglipur- Mayabunder- Port Blair

Excellent

I always had Mayabunder in mind for the beautiful and scenic beaches it has. However, after many years of several plans not materializing, I and my friend grabbed this opportunity of a helicopter ride arranged by Thrillophilia. I not just witnessed the mangrove-lined tidal creeks at the Mayabunder Island but the whole tour of all the eight islands of Andaman, was a pleasant bonus. This three hour journey began from Port Blair at around 7:40. After viewing the floating islands we were taken to capture the views of the Bambooflat, Baratang, and Rangat.

Agastya Mahajan Helicopter Trip on Andaman Islands: Port Blair- Diglipur- Mayabunder- Port Blair

Excellent

An aerial adventure with three of my friends was always on my mind. The drone captures of Andaman’s turquoise waters and the enchanting greenery of the island always fluttered my hearts. This time in January I decided to live my dream and Thrillophilia helped me have an unforgettable helicopter trip. I cannot explain the joy of having soared like a bird above the Smith, Madhuban, Peel and Havelock islands. I recommend Thrillophilia for this exhilarating three-hour journey that lets you see the twin islands of the North and South.
