From Pink City to Island Paradise: Your Jaipur to Andaman Itinerary

Coral reef with fishes swimming around it

When you live in the Pink City, surrounded by desert skies and royal charm, the idea of an island escape feels like a fantasy. But what if you could swap camel rides for catamarans, sand dunes for white-sand beaches, and forts for coral reefs, all within a few hours of travel?

Welcome to your guide from Jaipur to Andaman, a journey that promises to replace the heat of Rajasthan with sea breeze and sunshine. Here's to a fresh kind of getaway!

Why Andaman is Perfect for Travellers from Jaipur

 
Jaipur’s deserts and forts have their own charm, but they’re far removed from the humidity, sea breeze, and wildlife of the Andamans. Here, you’ll trade camel safaris for coral reefs, palatial grandeur for untouched beaches, and fort walls for jungle trails.  It’s like stepping into another world, yet still within India.
