Best Beaches in Diglipur, Andaman- My Travel Guide to Andaman on a Budget

payel@Turtlegotwings

The northern part of Port Blair is blessed Virgin beaches in it’s all true definition. Diglipur, Rangat, Mayabunder are all together portray a different Andaman. Here are some list of best beaches in Rangat & Diglipur.

a. Ross and Smith Island in Andaman- this is for sure the main attraction here. From Aria bay you have to hire a speed boat (which will cost around 3000 per boat, the rate is revised every year). Around 15 minutes from aria bay to Ross island. you get 2 hours time to spend, for more you will be charged additionally on hourly basis. Ross and smith are 2 islands however the 2 islands are connected by a small sand line which is visible during low tide. The boatman will charge some extra money to take you to Smith island (rs 50-100 per person). However its worthy spending some hours there.

Port Blair: always the first stop of the trip to Andaman

Starting with the capital city, as from where ever you come (until you come by ship), you have to start your journey from Port Blair. There are lot of good hotels to stay in the city. But as we are talking about budget here, i have a very good option— Amit Lodge (+91 9434289106). I love staying here, it’s a very simple home stay, and basic amenities are provided and neat and clean. The best thing is the location. From 2nd floor you see the colour changing sea water, and the city market is at you right about 5 minutes walk away and the famous cellular jail at your left, again just 5 minutes walk away. The fish aquarium is down the street, Rajiv Gandhi Marine Park is another 6 minutes walk away from there. There is one more interesting thin to mention here, but I’ll come to that later*..

Travelling to Bali on a budget- My travel tips to #Bali, Indonesia- #Solotravel to #Bali

Travelling to Bali on a budget- My travel tips to #Bali, Indonesia- #Solotravel to #Bali

payel@Turtlegotwings

#Bali as a destination is very tourist friendly, and travelling across #Bali is quite reasonable. Here is my suggestion on travel, food and fashion for your next trip to #Bali

Travelling locally in Bali:

· Forget Bemos, Ojeks in present day Bali and they hardly exist in the main city and in the small towns, the number is still hardly considerable; as all the houses have as many bikes as the number of members in the family or there are four wheeler in the houses.

Travelling to East of Bali – Solo travel to #Candidasa, #Bali.. #Indonesia Travel on a Budget

Travelling to East of Bali – Solo travel to #Candidasa, #Bali.. #Indonesia Travel on a Budget

payel@Turtlegotwings

After my stay in #Sanur, I decided to head towards east of #Bali, my next destination was #Candidasa, which is a small village in Amlapura District. The travel distance between #Sanur and #Candidasa is 1.5 hours by road, and the earlier you start is better to avoid traffic. There are 2 options to reach #Candidasa, one is by private taxi/ car which may cost appx 400K IDR for a car; for 3-4 people travelling together, taking private car is a good deal, but for solo traveller like me can book Perama shuttle which costs 75K IDR per person and these are daily transfer, hence quite cost effective and the drivers are good and professional. Also a backpacker can also hire a bike/ scooter (which may cost 70K IDR per day).

Sun, sand, sea and an island enriched with their traditional and cultural values, it has to be #Bali. A small island which can be driven across in one day (provided no stop in between, except at a petrol pump!!); can actually be an ideal destination for a long, laid-back vacation. Though talking of #Bali, many people think of only nightlife, party, and flock of people everywhere… however someone like me, who stays miles away from these high spirited activities, can give you a different picture of #Bali altogether which is pacifying if i may say!
