Xalxo

Xalxo is located on Baratang Island, which is a bit of a journey from Port Blair. We are specifically in the Nayagarh area, not too far from Baludera Beach. If you have ever been to the Andamans, you know that things move a bit slower out here. It’s not like the mainland at all. We are surrounded by a lot of greenery and the sea is just a short trip away. The shop is a simple place that serves the people living around here and the occasional tourist who makes it out to the beach. We don't have high-speed internet or big city problems, but we have our own challenges like getting supplies delivered by boat or dealing with the monsoon weather. Our day starts early when the sun comes up. We spend a lot of time just talking to the neighbors and getting things ready. It’s a very quiet life in Nayagarh. We aren't trying to be the biggest business around or anything like that. We just provide what we can to the people who visit Baratang. The air is salty and the weather is usually humid, so we just take it easy. We are just a local family-run kind of place. Most days are peaceful, and we like it that way. If you find yourself near Baludera Beach, you’ll probably see us there. It’s just a plain, honest spot on the island. We have been here for years and the island is our home.
