KALIGHAT
Until the new road is finished, Kalighat, where the river becomes
un-navigable and the ferryboat from Mayabunder turns around, serves as the
main entry point to North Andaman. A cluttered little bazaar unfolds from
the top of the slipway, hemmed in by dense mangrove swamps.
The one worthwhile place to visit in this area is Radhnagar, 10-km out of
town and served by hourly buses, where there's a beautiful sandy beach
backed by unspoilt forest where camping is feasible. Try to rent a cycle
from one of the stalls in Kalighat though, as the beach is 2-km outside
Radhnagar Bazaar, providing the nearest source of fresh water.
