Jalakara

Havelock, Andaman Islands

Seven rooms in the jungle on Havelock, twenty minutes from the best beach in India.

The place

Inland on Havelock rather than on the sand, in a betel plantation that has gone back to jungle, which is cooler and quieter and means you have to want to be here. Seven rooms, a pool cut into the slope, and Radhanagar beach twenty minutes away.
