My experience
This is Rachana's own 1-day itinerary for Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India — the version she'd plan for a close friend. It threads together stays she rates like Andaman & Nicobar Islands Itinerary: and Post, a day-by-day plan, and the meals worth booking ahead. Everything here is personally travelled and curated — no filler.
