How to reach Andaman

Discover the tropical and colonial charm of Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Rated 4.40/5 ( based on 8027 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.

Had issues with the early part of the tour as the Travel agent did not inform proper itinerary.They lacked proper communication which creates uncertainty about next day itinerary. They were honest but lacked in some areas. But they took efforts later to give valey added services which was appreciabl

e. Baratang island and mud valcano is the best places.. Besides Snorkeling is always to be added while others sports activities are good.

Bhupinder's 6 days trip to Andaman

I recently went on a Andaman and Nicobar trip and had a wonderful experience. From the punctual airport pick-up to seamless transfers, everything was well-planned and stress-free everything are flawless. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and the hotels selected were comfortable and in grea

t locations specially the the beach view hotel at Havelock island. The daily itinerary balanced sightseeing with relaxation, and all entry tickets were arranged in advance, saving time and hassle. Communication with the agency was always prompt and professional. I highly recommend Pearl Andaman Travels anyone seeking a hassle-free and enjoyable journey. A special thanks to all the guide and supporting staff for making the trip extra memorable.

Nanditha Y

Bengaluru

Nanditha's 6 days trip to Andaman

Overall, our experience with Umang Travels was very good. The hospitality and arrangements were excellent, and special thanks to Mr. Mohit for being extremely kind, approachable, and always reachable throughout the trip. However, there were two major issues that we would like to highlight: Hotel De

Pebbles, Port Blair – We strongly recommend that you do not book this hotel for future customers. The entire property is poorly maintained, and both the owner and staff displayed unprofessional and unpleasant behaviour. In contrast, Kings Hotel, Ocean Pearl, and Pearl Park were excellent in terms of service, cleanliness, and staff behaviour. Driver Behaviour – We faced issues with one of the drivers in Neil island who started speaking singular to elderly people for being 5 minutes late to his pick up also who had serious anger and attitude problems. Such behaviour towards customers is unacceptable and needs to be addressed to ensure a better travel experience in the future. Despite these incidents, we appreciate the efforts of the Umang Travels team and Mr. Mohit for making most parts of our trip memorable.

Ruje

New delhi

Ruje's 8 days trip to Andaman

It was an awesome experience during the trip. It was nicely planned and the travel agency took prompt action in case of some issues. The hotels provided were quite good except in Havelock which even lacked the basic needs like provision of water and cleaning the rooms. All the rooms there were so ba

dly maintained. The drivers were so courteous and they also doubled up as tour guide in some places. I would like to thank the travel agency for making this a memorable trip. Radhanagar Beach was the best.
