The Natural Bridge of Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) - An Incredible Creation of Nature!

Neil Island, now also known as Shaheed Dweep, a gem of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, hides an extraordinary work of art by nature – the Natural Bridge. Locally, it's known as 'Howrah Bridge', though it bears no structural resemblance to Kolkata's famous bridge. Nevertheless, its stunning natural formation captivates tourists.

Why is it so attractive?

Nature's Own Sculpture: Over years, due to the erosive action of sea waves and wind, this natural arch has been formed from marine coral and limestone. It's not man-made, but a living sculpture crafted by nature's own hands! Observing its curves and rough texture truly allows one to appreciate nature's creativity.

The Mystery of High Tide: The best time to visit this Natural Bridge is during low tide. During high tide, some parts of it are submerged underwater. Therefore, it's crucial to inquire about the tide timings from locals or hotel staff before visiting. When the water level recedes during low tide, its entire structure becomes clearly visible, and one can even walk underneath it.

Vibrant Marine Life: Numerous marine creatures can be seen in the rocky areas and shallow waters around the bridge. The free movement of starfish, sea cucumbers, and various colourful marine animals offers a unique experience. This living natural environment particularly attracts tourists.

Photographer's Paradise: This place is a dream destination for photographers. During sunrise or at dusk, the interplay of light and shadow makes the bridge's view even more enchanting. It's a fantastic opportunity to capture the natural beauty here with your camera.

Peaceful and Serene Environment: Neil Island itself is famous for its tranquil and quiet environment, free from urban hustle. The dense green foliage surrounding the Natural Bridge and the calm sea waves create a pure and peaceful atmosphere, helping one escape the stresses of daily life.

How to Reach?

Neil Island can be reached by ferry from Port Blair in approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. From Neil Island Jetty, you can hire an auto-rickshaw, scooter, or even walk (about 15-20 minutes) to reach the Natural Bridge. The last part of the path is somewhat rocky, so comfortable footwear is advisable.

For those who love nature, enjoy adventure, and wish to spend some extraordinary moments in a peaceful environment away from the city's commotion, the Natural Bridge of Neil Island promises an unforgettable experience. It's not just a sightseeing spot, but a living testament to nature's relentless power and artistry.

Zurich - The Enchanting Beauty of Switzerland.

I went to Zurich for my vacation, and although I've returned, I still see its scenes like a dream! You know, Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland. It's located in the far north of the country. The city is a feast for the eyes, with beautiful scenery all around! And it's so clean, it makes you feel good. The traffic flows so smoothly, it's unbelievable. Everyone follows the traffic rules, even the pedestrians.

It's not just the beautiful scenery and cleanliness; Zurich is also a major financial center. Many large international banks and company offices are located here. You can understand how important this place is.

The city's history is also very old, dating back to the Roman Empire. In the 16th century, Zurich was the central point of the Protestant Reformation movement.

And yes, there are many beautiful places to see here.
I was amazed by the beautiful view of , whose Gothic architecture captivated me. I also went to , from where I enjoyed the ancient and beautiful view of by the river. I tasted delicious coffee at Zimkaffee, a beautiful roadside restaurant.
I took some videos of Zurich City from the bus and tram.
I really enjoyed my time in Zurich, and you can also visit this beautiful city! The Grossmunster Church, Kunsthaus Zurich, Zurich Opera House - a trip to Zurich is incomplete without seeing these.

The ideal time to visit Zurich varies depending on individual preferences. However, keeping a few things in mind can be helpful.

Summer (June to September): This is the most beautiful time in Zurich. The weather is sunny and perfect for strolling by the lake. However, it can be a bit crowded and expensive during this time. Many festivals and events also take place then.
Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November): These times are less crowded, and the weather is quite comfortable. Flowers bloom all around in spring, and the leaves turn beautiful colors in autumn. These times are good for those who prefer a quiet environment.
Winter (December to February): In winter, Zurich transforms into a fairytale land. Christmas markets, lights - the whole atmosphere is different. And for those who love winter sports, there's nothing better. The nearby mountains offer excellent opportunities for skiing. However, it's a bit colder.
So, you can see that if you want a warm atmosphere, summer is best; if you want to visit in a quiet environment, spring or autumn is excellent; and if you want to enjoy the snow, winter is ideal. Ultimately, when you go depends on your preference.

Dream Come True in Venice: Happiness Beneath the Masks!
Finally, our dream has come true! I am here with my daughter at the renowned Venice Carnival. There is a festive vibe, and people are wearing masks and vibrant costumes everywhere! We feel as though we have entered a fantasy world.
This carnival has an extremely long history. Since the thirteenth century, this celebration has been held. The Venetian Republic's nobility once instituted the practice of donning masks to socialize and have fun with the general populace. It has grown into a massive festival over time.
• The carnival is usually held in February.
• Masks, colourful costumes, and dazzling parades are the main attractions of this festival.
• Various cultural events and concerts are organized in different parts of Venice.
• Hotel rates in Venice are very high during this time. However, my request is to try to stay on the main island of Venice for at least one night. It is important to stay here at night to enjoy the true beauty of this city.
I am very happy to share these wonderful moments of mine and my daughter with you. Those of you who want to enjoy the Venice Carnival, please visit once. The Venice Carnival in 2026 will take place from February 7th to 17th. This experience is memorable for a lifetime.
