How to reach Andaman

Discover the tropical and colonial charm of Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Rated 4.40/5 ( based on 8033 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.

Deepanshu Mandhata

Raipur

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

Rajesh's 6 days trip to Andaman

Trip plan is good and Hotel location are nice. Food also good.

Sonal Patil

Sonal's 6 days trip to Andaman

Everything was beautiful and serene during this tour. Hotels were beautiful and hospitality was great. Cabs were on time and coordination was too good. The only thing we did not like was the candle light dinner set up and the hotel food. We were expecting a beautiful set up and food but nothing was

upto mark. We understand it may have been out of budget for you but we could have paid for it. Overall the experience was great and we will come back again. Hotel stay , Neil Island sunset point.

Rakeshts's 7 days trip to Andaman

Hotel sweneha grand in portblair was poor and not recommendable. Apart from that, other resorts are good and enjoyed the stay. My suggestion please not to recommend hotel sweneha grand in portblair for others.

Basavraj's 7 days trip to Andaman

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.
