The Andaman Islands
Beaches rated among the best in Asia with barely another footprint on the sand, a coral reef close enough to snorkel straight from shore, and a former British penal colony now a quiet museum rather than the ordeal it once was.
The best time to visit The Andaman Islands is Nov–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (88°F). Local time there is 16:46 (UTC+5:30).
