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.
