You step off the ferry into a different scale of light: ocean bright and flat, palms brushing warm air, and the salt tang pressing at the back of your throat. Port Blair’s harbor hums with movement—ferries, luggage, vendors—before the islands open into long beaches and coral-fringed shallows. The slow, regular motion of crossing the channel becomes part of the trip’s rhythm.
