Maldives Tour Package With Flight For 6N7D Under 50Kg

Day 1

In this post, we share our 7-day Andaman itinerary and highlights from one of the most offbeat destinations in India: the beautiful, far-flung tropical archipelago of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Tucked between the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea between India and Myanmar, a cluster of little-heard-of islands makes up the remote and beautiful Andaman and Nicobar archipelago.

There are around 500+ islands in this ocean-bound outpost, though less than 10 per cent of them are inhabited. Even fewer of the islands are open to tourists, and those are only in the Andaman cluster.

For now though, if you’re looking for a little piece of rustic paradise off the beaten track, where time moves more slowly, life is simpler, the food is delicious and the sunsets sublime, then the Andamans are calling.

Planning an Andaman Nicobar Trip

There’s plenty to think about when considering Andaman travel. Two key questions though are how long you have, and what kind of holiday you’re after.

Despite there only being a few islands that can be visited by tourists, getting around and between them can be time consuming, challenging and prone to sudden change. The more time you have, the more broadly you’ll be able to travel. With less time, you’re better off focusing on one or two islands.

Our Andaman itinerary spans 7 days and three islands: , Port Blair, Havelock Island and Neil Island.

We should note this itinerary is based on our ideal plan rather than our actual trip: for us, sudden visit of President of India led to lastminute ferry cancellations which kept us in Neil longer than planned, and very nearly scuttled our trip to Port Blair .

Fingers crossed you luck out with perfect weather and smooth transport for your Andaman Nicobar trip. We recommend being as flexible as you can though, and ready to change your itinerary if you need to.

How do you get to the Andaman Islands?

To get to the Andaman Islands, most people fly into the capital, Port Blair, from the Indian mainland.

There are several flight from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. We take flight from Delhi to Andaman via Kolkata

It’s a crossing of three to four days via sea from Chennai, Kolkata or Visakhapatnam.

When is the best time to visit Andaman?

The best time to visit Andaman is between October and May, over the northern winter and spring. Summer heats things up from around April.

We visited in Feb-March.

How do I get between the Andaman Islands?

Realistically, the best way to get between the Andaman islands is by passenger ferry. There are Government ferry services and private services run by ferry companies Makruzz and Green Ocean. Government services are significantly cheaper than private services, but tickets only become available a day before in advance and have to be purchased at the ferry ticket offices offline.

We booking our tickets online ahead of time. We did so through Makruzz, Green Ocean and Govt. Ferry.

It was a solid reminder that it helps to have a backup plan if things don’t go as they should.
