One of the most interesting local experiences in Sri Vijaya Puram is the Junglighat Sunday Market.

The market comes alive early on Sunday morning with local vendors selling fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, spices and other everyday items. It’s a nice place to see the everyday side of island life beyond the usual tourist spots.

Sharing a few pictures from Jogger’s Park in Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman. The hilltop location gives a beautiful view of the surroundings, with cool sea breeze and a peaceful atmosphere.

It’s a nice place for a morning walk or a relaxed evening, especially if you enjoy scenic views and quiet spots.

I recently visited Sagarika Government Emporium in Port Blair and was impressed by the collection of handcrafted wooden souvenirs made by local artisans.

The store has:

• 🌴 Wooden palm tree showpieces
• 🐬 Dolphin and marine-themed carvings
• 🥥 Coconut shell handicrafts
• 🎋 Bamboo products
• 🐚 Seashell souvenirs
• 🏡 Home décor and gift items

If you're visiting the Andaman Islands and want authentic souvenirs instead of imported items, Sagarika is definitely worth a stop. It's a government-run emporium that supports local artisans and offers fixed-price products.

📍 Location: Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair), Middle Point, Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Has anyone else bought souvenirs from Sagarika? What was your favorite purchase?
