Andaman’s Day 6: Neil Island

    Andaman’s: Day 1 - Day 2 - Day 3 - Day 4 - Day 5 - Day 6 - Day 7 - Day 8 - Day 9

    Next day we promptly reached Bharatpur Beach at 11 and waited for the tide to rise the water level. Since this is the only beach where venturing into sea is allowed, almost entire Neil was here. We had fun going deep into the sea. We would take multiple trips into the sea and then rest at the sandy beachside.

    Our second stint at Bharatpur Beach

    After lunch we asked the locals what’s good and we were told the flora and fauna around the Natural Bridge is not something we should miss. This natural bridge was close to Laxmanpur Beach but the vehicle route was different. Thanks to our vehicle we were there in half an hour. We parked our two-wheeler and walked up and down a small hill to face the sea.

    Laxmanpur Beach No.2

    This beach is called Laxmanpur Beach No.2. It is a remarkable part of Neil Island. One of us had the sense of taking a guide with us who took us deep into this beach. There were so many sea creatures of different shapes that I saw that day that’s worth rest of my life. We were shown how corals are living creatures, how they grow and how crabs find their crevices the best place to live.

    The Natural Bridge itself is a beautiful structure that we crossed and stood at a rock on the other side that was just getting wet. It would submerge in the sea later in the day. We were thrilled. We took so many photographs around this place and yet could not capture the true beauty of this place.

    On the other side of the beach was a celebrity fish waiting for us - a whole family of clownfish was residing in a small water body. Finding Nemo fans would find this unforgettable. In the evening we again went for the sunset point and came back after dark. Next day we had to leave for Port Blair.
