Andaman Dairies # Part - 3 - Shahid Dweep (Neill Island) - Pearl peak beach resort

Plan for Day – 2 was to catch up the Ferry to Shahid Dweep (Neill Island), opted for the package which includes all this ferry changes. We started from our hotel around 5.15 AM to catch up the ferry with packed breakfast.

About Government Ferry: Govt. Ferry / Ships are leaving from Port Blair harbor (also known as Phoenix bay jetty) at 06-00 AM, 11-00 SM (via Neil Island) and 14-00. It takes approximately 3 hours to reach Neill island. For Indian nationals tickets can be booked only 04 days in advance and all tickets and seats are subject to availability. Tickets are issued through the 'STARS' counters managed by the Directorate of Shipping Services. Ticket charges are Rs. 525/- per person.


Even some private ferry runs in this route with approximately Rs. 2000/- per person. My personal experience is one should travel in Government ferry, because they will provide an option to stand or sit in-front of the ferry which would be awesome experience.
















Since for all of us it was the first time ferry journey, we were excited for the ride and clicked lot of pics during this ride.
















Reached Neill island around 9.00 AM, in Neill island we booked Pearl peak beach resort which is one of the most beautiful resort where I stayed till date.
















Information about Pearl Peak Beach Resort.

The place was very peaceful and I liked very much the pool in this resort. Under lights this place looks even more beautiful.




















During our stay in this place we visited Howrath Bridge and Laxmanpur Beach.
The next day before heading to Havelock visited Bharatpur Beach.

Location: Shahid Dweep, Andaman and Nicobar Islands 744104

Kabbalu Betta Trekking

Kabbalu betta trekking is one of the options for the hikers around bengaluru and located near Kanakapura talluku. Its   around 80Kms from Bengaluru. We have couple of options to reach Kabbalu:  Bangalore > Ramnagar > Chenpatna > Kabbalu (82 KMs) Bangalore > Kanakapura > Satanuru >Kabbalu (87 Kms) I had been to this place many times before but could not get a change to trek this hill, it is one of the best places for those who wish to start trekking.  Since it’s a last minute plan, could not invite anyone for this trekking. But the special thing about this trekking is my brother Kiran joined me for this trekking. It was the first trekking with my brother.  Just to escape from the weekend traffic and the heat we started early morning around 6.00AM from Bengaluru and took Kanakapura Road to reach our destination. Even though it’s a single road the drive was awesome, last night rain added more beauty to the surrounding environment.   Reached Kabbalu

Horsley Hills is one of the perfect weekend getaway from Bengaluru, a bike ride to Horsley Hills offers a thrilling and scenic adventure. Located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, Horsley Hills is approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru, making it an ideal destination for a short road trip.   We can take multiple routes to reach Horsley Hills but we chose,   Bengaluru – Hoskote – Chintamani – Madanapalle – Horsley Hills route. Its approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru and need 4-5 hours (depending on number of breaks we take).   The road conditions are generally good, with a mix of highways and country roads. After Hoskote, it's a single road, but the condition is relatively good. Be cautious of some potholes and patches after crossing Chintamani. Arvind and I started our ride at 5:30 AM to avoid city traffic and enjoy the cool morning breeze. The roads were relatively empty, and the slight drizzling added to the beauty of the journey. After riding for about 30 kilometers, we r
