Andaman

Shopping Delights

Apart from lazing around on sun-drenched beaches if you feel the need to go shopping there are the amazing vibrant markets of Port Blair. The hub of all shopping extravaganzas at Port Blair is Aberdeen Bazaar. Here is where you can pick up just what you're looking for; from bamboo cane craft to coconut shell lamps and even the most beautiful jewellery made out of shells. Do get your hands on some palm mats, wooden carved furniture and colourful sarongs. You can head out to the Government Emporium that houses the Cottage Industries Emporium and Gram Khadi Commission. There's also the Andaman Handicraft Emporium and the Sagarika Government Emporium, which offers seashell articles and other souvenir items. Other shopping centres are located in Goalghar, Junglighat, Prem Nagar and Delanipur all of which are well within 3-4 kms away from Aberdeen Bazaar.
