The 20s are the best time to actually live your life when you have little to no worries and little to a lot of time to have fun. Who wouldn’t want that? However, the 20s come with some problems too, which majorly revolve around the whole money front. Let’s just describe it as – you have money but not that much to visit Hawaii, but more than simply spending it on your Goa trip, again.
We are bored from the Goa trips, while for some, the plans never work out, others are fed up with it. And, all those who don’t want to visit Goa this time, you should definitely check out the beautiful beaches of Andaman this time. Now, you might be thinking, how can a place like Andaman be compared with something like Goa (even though you’re bored of it, we know that you’re thinking that), let me be clear, the 20s is ‘the’ best time to visit the Andamans and live the beach life to the fullest.
Here are the 10 reasons why everyone should visit the Andamans in their 20s.
1. A budget trip
The 20s brings in a lot of challenges and one of the biggest is managing money. Let’s just accept this, we are too shitty with our money which is why we are broke for most of the month. So, if you also belong to the same category then join me on a trip to Andamans as is it budget-friendly (if you want it to be) and definitely more cash efficient than its counterpart, Maldives.
2. Say goodbye to the hustle.
We all want to have a laid-back life and Andamans just serves it to you on a silver platter. This place can be your escape from the hustle and civilisation with some of the most pristine beaches and water to look forward to.
3. Welcoming Locals
Andamans are often described by their warm and welcoming locals who won’t nag you for everything and let you make your visit the dream trip you want it to be (something which is in absence from a long time). They are also very friendly and helpful to travellers’ queries.
4. Hub of adventure activities
All the adventure junkies can make peace with their scuba diving urges over here, and not only that one can get involved in activities like snorkelling, jet skiing and what not. You would be having fun and making memories, this is what Andaman gives you.
5. Food!!
Food can be considered a driving force in my life, I live for good food and Andamans can serve me just that. You can find any and every type of cuisine over here which makes the entire experience all the more exciting. Plus, don’t forget to check out seafood while being here, because it’s mandatory.
6. Drinks!!
Goa has spoiled us, beaches and good beer go hand-in-hand and trust us, Andaman would deliver you the same. Even though it’s not as cheap as Goa, it’s definitely less than what we spend in our hometowns. From IMFL to imported, everything is available for every person.
7. Sightseeing
Andamans are a hub of some of the most fascinating sights in the country. You can witness turtle nesting, Kala Pani (a prison in the 20th century, now a hospital), the volcano at Barren Island and many others. These places would completely change your perception about the islands.
8. The sunsets and sunrises
Seeing the sun rise and set is one of the luxuries that not everyone can count on, however, holidaying gives you the ability to do it and what’s better than to witness these highlights at some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
These are just 8 reasons, but these are some of the most interesting and important reasons for you to witness a beauty like Andamans in your 20s. Plus, a good news is that Indians don’t have to hustle for a Visa in order to visit the Andamans, always a great thing. This place is close to your home yet has an international feel to it with all the beautiful landscapes that it beholds.
