Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
A slow, green island of coral gardens, quiet beaches and a natural rock arch.
Neil Island, now Shaheed Dweep, is the Andamans at their most laid-back, a small, green island prized for its unhurried pace. Its trio of beaches, Bharatpur, Laxmanpur and Sitapur, offer coral gardens, sunset views and morning sun, while the natural rock arch at low tide is a photographer's favourite. A short ferry from Port Blair or Havelock, Neil suits travellers who want calm over crowds. Indian nationals need no permit to visit.
Fly to Port Blair and cross by ferry to Shaheed Dweep. Ease into island life with a first sunset at Laxmanpur.
Spend the morning at Bharatpur Beach with a glass-bottom boat or snorkel over coral, then relax on the sand.
Visit the Natural Bridge at low tide to spot marine life, and catch sunrise at Sitapur Beach.
Pedal through Neil's green lanes, revisit a favourite beach, or add a hop to nearby Havelock.
Return to Port Blair by ferry for onward sightseeing or your flight home.

Neil is smaller and quieter than Havelock, ideal if you want to slow right down. Coral-fringed beaches, gentle snorkelling and easy cycling make it a restful counterpoint to a busy itinerary.
Bharatpur is best for water activities, Laxmanpur for sunsets and the Natural Bridge, and Sitapur for sunrise. Each is a short ride apart, so you can see all three in a relaxed day or two.
Neil is reached by ferry from Port Blair or Havelock, typically 1 to 2 hours depending on the service. We pre-book your inter-island ferries so island-hopping stays smooth in peak season.
Indian nationals need no permit for Neil (Shaheed Dweep). There is no paperwork to arrange, while foreign nationals simply register on arrival.
October to May offers calm seas and clear water, ideal for snorkelling and boat trips. The June to September monsoon can bring rough seas and occasional ferry cancellations.
Neil is small with limited ATMs, so carry cash. Mobile signal is patchy, and the Natural Bridge is best visited at low tide, so plan around the tide timings.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
