Andaman Sightseeing – Best Travel Videos

There exist some places on this planet that never fails to bring quantum of solace to peace-seeking souls. Standing tall in the list of those places is Andaman that comprises a number of small and big islets, each of which augments the natural charm of the region. Every year, thousands of tourists flock to this place to refresh their senses, behold the natural marvels and revel in the festivities of the region.

And during their stay, they shall not miss visiting the Cellular Jail that British used to cage Indian political prisoners to keep them from participating in revolutionary movements. Its walls have witnessed the soul-trembling tortures on freedom fighters and the corridors still remember their terrifying screams. Do you know that it is called ‘Cellular Jail’ because it was made with individual cells for solitary confinement? It means freedom fighters had nobody to share their agony with, except the four walls of their cell.

Today, it is a known national memorial that is visited by many to take a peek into the lives spent here by prisoners. Every day inside the jail compound, a show is arranged for visitors to know the valiant acts of freedom fighters. There is also a museum, a photo gallery and an art gallery within the premises.

Limestone Cave is another local attraction that rests in Baratang Island, which is around 90 km from Port Blair. The journey to these caves is as fascinating as this natural wonder. A car will pick you up from the hotel and drop you at Middle Strait via Jirkatang. From there, you will have to take a jetty that goes through Jarwa-dominated areas and takes around 40 minutes to reach Baratang Island. After de-boarding the boat, you have to walk for a while to finally reach the cave. The cave looks mesmerizing with natural limestone formations and you will be more than surprised to behold all those shapes coming alive on the walls & the roof. Please note that a trip to these caves would consume almost an entire day, so avoid this attraction if you are short on time.

Here is a glimpse (video by GameAid – fictitious name) of the journey that one undertakes to reach the cave:
