Some of the major tourist centers of Andaman and Nicobar are: |
| The administrative capital of Port Blair is the only noticeable town on the islands. The lively Aberdeen Bazaar lies at the heart of the town and is constructed entirely of wood. Despite being razed to the ground several times in the past, it has bounced back within no time and is as full of odds and ends as before. |

HAVELOCK ISLANDS
A stay on Havelock, on the other hand would be much more luxurious since it is one of the islands chosen by the government to turn into a luxurious tourist destination. The coral reef at Havelock is still intact and makes snorkeling a great pleasure. However, only the northern part of the isle is populated, and if one is seeking solitude, he will find plenty of it in the rest of the island. |
