Mayabandar is small and peaceful enough to walk around most of the town, but for more distant destinations like Karmatang Beach, local buses are the best option, although it is important to check the times in advance as there are limited daily trips. There are some public jeeps and auto rickshaws, but they are often expensive for non-locals, so it is advisable to check with locals before you go. If you want to visit nearby islands such as Avis Island, Coco Island and Interview Island, it is best to contact local fishermen or ask the staff at your accommodation. Mayabandar has a handful of lovely beaches, seasonal turtle nesting sites and mangrove lined tidal creeks, and is home to the second largest port in the Andamans after Port Blair, where mainland passenger ships stop. It is an ideal destination for nature lovers looking to avoid the crowds, as there are no luxury resorts, and the accommodation is simple but very close to nature. Although the lack of mobile network or internet can create some isolation, once you venture out and spend time at Rampur Beach or German Jetty, or sit on the beach and take some photos, you will realize that this solitude is a kind of gift, where you can rediscover yourself.
