Port Blair

Situated in the cluster of islands in Andaman and Nicobar that dot the Bay of Bengal, Port Blair has long remained on the bucket list of avid travellers looking to explore its pristine waters and marine life. The city serves as a popular beach getaway for Indian citizens from across the country, and now, travellers from Malaysia and beyond will be able to experience it via AirAsia’s direct flights. The stretch of islands in the Andamans is also home to ancient tribal communities who have resided there for centuries and are protected by the Indian government.
