On the Andaman island of Havelock, Rajan is a bit of a star. Actually,a big star. For, he is probably India’s only ocean-swimming elephant.
When elephants were transported to the Andamans to assist with logging operations, some adapted rather remarkably to their new environment. They took to the ocean, swimming between the islands in water over 100m deep. Logging operations have ceased but the elephant remain. And Rajan is the last of the swimmers.

Septmber is the best time to come to India for trekking, camping and adventure traveling.
Getting to the starting point of this trek, at Kibber, means you need to drive over two passes-Rohtang and Kunzum La.

The Jayamahal Palace Hotel- an icing sugar-white miniature castle complete with turreted parapets, a royal standard and sprawling grounds- is a lovely anomaly in the traffic-choked heart of the Cantonment.
