How to reach Andaman

Discover the tropical and colonial charm of Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Rated 4.40/5 ( based on 8041 reviews )

How to reach Andaman & Nicobar Island

If you’re looking to find out the best way to reach the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, you’re in the right place. Situated off the southern coast of India, the tropical islands of Andaman are very popular with tourists. There is a lot to do and see, but what are all the commute options to reach Andaman and which are better than others? Well, let’s dive in!

If you are an Indian national, you will not need any permit to visit the Andaman Islands. However, you will need a license to visit the Nicobar Islands and other tribal areas. You can apply on a prescribed form and address it to the Deputy Commissioner, Andaman District, Port Blair. If you are a foreign national, you can stay in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands for 30 days. If you want to extend it by another 15 days, you will have to get permission to stay from the immigration authorities

By Air

How to reach Andaman Nicobar by flight is no big mystery. Daily flights from major metropolitan cities in India include Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Vishakhapatnam. A flight from Chennai or Kolkata typically takes around two hours, and a flight from Delhi or Mumbai takes 4 to 5 hours. The capital city of the Andaman Islands, Port Blair, has an international airport called the Veer Savarkar Airport (IXZ), located just 2 km south of the city centre. It is the only commercial airport in the region. Tourists from Malaysia can reach Andaman directly; however, folks visiting from other countries have to take layover flights from connecting cities from mainland India. Plans to connect more countries to Andaman & Nicobar via air are also underway.

By Sea

Some true adventurers exist amongst us, people who would rather take a ship’s journey to the islands than prefer the comforts of flying. If that is you, we have good news—no need to worry about how to reach Andaman by ship anymore. Travelling the high waters of the sea has never been easier. Ships sail from Kolkata and Chennai harbour for Port Blair 3 to 4 times every month and once a month from Vishakhapatnam. The journey on the sea takes around three days to reach Port Blair, where the ships dock for a couple of days. Schedules for different boats are available a month in advance so that you can be prepared. Sailing the seas can be pretty thrilling, but if you’re unsure about it, it is recommended that you don’t travel by ship. People can sometimes experience motion sickness and vomiting. Moreover, the travel might not be the most comfortable, as the boats are often not roomy and clean enough for a journey spanning 3 to 4 days.

Ankita Paul

Hyderabad

Ankita's 7 days trip to Andaman

I recently completed a trip organized by Pearl Andaman travel agency, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. If you’re looking for a stress-free vacation, I highly recommend their services. What I Loved: Expert Travel Agent: The booking process was seamless. Our agent was insightful, qui

ck to respond, and handled all the logistics perfectly. It was a "great experience" from start to finish. Punctual Drivers: Reliable transport is key for a smooth trip. Every driver assigned to us was professional, polite, and—most importantly—always on time. We never had to worry about missing a connection. Important Tip for Other Travelers: The only minor downside was our experience on the Green Ocean Ferry. While the staff was fine, the vessel itself was very slow compared to the other options.

Devesh's 5 days trip to Andaman

The whole trip was fantastic and holiday feets was very supportive. While the rest of the holiday was exemplary, the private transportation service provided in Port Blair was a point of concern. The driver consistently prioritised his convenience over our scheduled itinerary, imposing extremely rest

rictive timings. Specifically, he limited our daily excursions to the hours of 2:30 PM to 7:00 PM and was unwilling to accommodate an earlier start. Furthermore, the driver severely restricted our time at various sites, even questioning the duration of our planned visits. This lack of flexibility extended to the final day, where we were only allotted 30 minutes for shopping. Given that the package was chosen for its freedom from group tour constraints, this rigidity must be addressed for future bookings. So this is a suggestion from my side if this can be avoided or improved. Rest everything was wonderful.

Deepanshu's 6 days trip to Andaman

It was a pleasant experience in travelling with travel triangle. Enjoyed a lot.

Rakesh Raut

Mumbai

Rakesh's 6 days trip to Andaman

I recently visited Andaman and had a disappointing experience with the travel agent Mr Roy, He misguided us about scuba diving rates, charged much higher than local prices despite our tickets showing 25% off, and even told us not to ask locals about the rates and to say we were “not interested.” He

kept insisting that slots were very limited and pushed us to book immediately by creating false urgency. The complimentary snorkeling included in our package was another big letdown. They took us into barely 1–2 feet of water, asked us to just put our face in, and called it snorkeling. Then they said this is the only complimentary demo included in our package and demanded ₹1200 if we wanted to see actual fish and enjoy snorkling. It felt completely misleading and frustrating. Overall, trip was good and memorable but due to above issues trip was not 100% satisfactory. I hope this issues wont be repeated in the future Hotel and cab service was good
