History of The City

Havelock is one of the most important tourism destinations of the Union Territory of Andaman & Nicobar. It is one of the few islands that is inhabited, although most of it is a natural paradise, replete with white sand beaches, coral reefs with a colourful array of aquatic life, palm trees, as well as dense forests in the interiors. Inhabited mainly by Bengali settlers, the island houses a number of small villages. Covering an area of 100 sq. km, it lies on the northeast of Port Blair, 54 km by road and 33.5 km by sea.

The pristine island is a great base from which to hike, fish, kayak and sail to other islands. It also offers some brilliant snorkelling and diving opportunities. Radha Nagar beach on Havelock has been voted Best Beach of Asia, by Time Magazine.

How to Reach
The beaches of Havelock and Neil islands are some of the popular destinations in Andaman and Nicobar islands. While Havelock Island is located some 54 kilometers east of Port Blair, Neil islands lie some 40 kilometers of Port Blair. The latter is a smaller and much quieter island than the former, and you could even get to these islands before you reach Havelock islands. The pristine and clean white sand beaches of Havelock and Neil islands have for long been a favorite of tourists to the Islands.
