PORT BLAIR
POP 100,608
Though surrounded by attractive lush forest and rugged coastline, Port Blair itself is a
somewhat gritty town that serves as the provincial capital of the Andamans. It's a vibrant
mix of Indian Ocean inhabitants - Bengalis, Tamils, Telugus, Nicobarese and Burmese.
Most travellers don't hang around any longer than necessary (usually one or two days
while waiting to book onward travel in the islands, or returning for departure), instead hell-
bent on heading straight to the islands. And while 'PB' can't compete with the beaches of
Havelock, its fascinating history makes for some outstanding sightseeing that warrants a
day or two spent here.
