Essential information of Andaman

Andaman is a tropical paradise rising out of the Bay of Bengal.

The archipelago is a magnet for honeymooners and families on vacation looking for an exile from the monotony of mainland. Travellers should get the basic idea about weather and food of Andaman, which is not usually available on a typical tourist map of Andaman and Nicobar islands. Here is some key information on Andaman and Nicobar Islands which will come handy during your holiday in Andaman.

Food of Andaman and Nicobar Islands:

Like most coastal territories in India, Andaman and Nicobar Islands are famous for seafood-based cuisine. Whether it is a lavish seafood platter at upscale restaurants or a quick bite in the street, seafood in Andaman is ubiquitous. Coconut prawn curry, an excellent dish cooked with local spices, grilled lobsters, freshly-caught sardines, and some of the must-try food in Andaman Islands. Locals and indigenous tribes follow a simpler rule: they cook whatever they caught. Most local restaurants serve dishes made from crabs, prawns, and cuttlefish. Vegetarians need not worry as there are plenty of joints that offer North Indian and South Indian cuisine in Port Blair. The capital city has plenty of multi-cuisine restaurants lined up in the main market. Besides traditional food in Andaman, travellers can also enjoy the fresh harvest of banana, mango, pineapple, and guava.

Climate of Andaman

The archipelago experiences two-season weather pattern: dry summers and wet winters. Summer temperatures in Andaman linger in mid-thirties and humidity in the day is high. The weather of Andaman between October and early May remains ideal for sightseeing, beach activities, and other excursions. The rainfall in Andaman starts early from May and usually lasts till September. The city of Port Blair witnesses a tropical monsoon climate throughout the year. Least rainfall is in the months of January, February, and March.

Satvinder's 6 days trip to Andaman

We recently booked an Andaman trip through TravelTriangle, hosted by Andaman Great Holidays, for a mother and son duo, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Everything was well taken care of — from the clean, comfortable rooms to the seamless transfers and activity planning across different islands. A special mention goes to Mr. Surjit, the Logistics Manager, who truly made a difference. He was highly accommodating, even with our last-minute requests, and ensured we got the best deals on activities. His planning was spot on — very thorough with timelines, which helped us stay relaxed yet never miss out. What stood out the most was Mr. Surjit’s honest and insightful feedback on each activity. He guided us on what’s worth doing and what could be skipped if it felt repetitive, which helped us make the most of our limited time and energy. Overall, a smooth, thoughtful, and safe experience — especially important when traveling with family. Highly recommend both TravelTriangle and Andaman Great Holidays for anyone planning a trip to the islands.
