Floating 780 miles across the Bay of Bengal from Kolkata, this port city in the Andaman archipelago is the splash-down point for the Mahatma Gandhi National Marine Park. Diving, snorkeling and glass-bottom boat trips provide views of rare corals and marine life. On shore, family-friendly Gandhi Park offers amusement rides and a nature trail. Nearby Viper and Ross islands contain historical remnants of British rule, while Corbyn's Cove has remains of Japanese bunkers at its palm-lined beach.

It costs just Rs10 to enter. There is a japanese bunker( basically a cave), 2 bomb pits , some statues of elephants and tigers , a monument and a mini-museum where there a lot of wooden figures. However, the Saw mill is the main attraction and you can see the various stages of the timber right from putting the logs in water to watching them cut it live.To be honest I was a bit worried, as it looks like a Final destination moment waiting to happen with all visitors coming quite close to the saws. We are supposed to wear helmets but no one provided one!

Admire the clock tower at the crossing in the passing. Just click a pic in the old Aberdeen bazaar for memory.

Viper Island derives its name from the vessel H.M.S. Viper in which Lt. Archibald Blair came to Andaman and Nicobar Islands in 1789. The vessel, it is believed, met with an accident and its wreckage was found near the island. It is believed that there were a lot of viper snakes at that time on this island. This small island was the site of the jail where the British used to imprison convicts and political prisoners. It has the ruins of a gallows atop a hillock. Since this jail couldn't accommodate many inmates, the cellular jail was constructed by the British by enslaving the inmates of Viper island jail.
