How To Reach Andaman From Chennai

If you are planning a long vacation and want to unwrap the hidden options to travel to India.

Then the Andaman and Nicobar Islands can be your spot. The northern Andaman Islands and the southern Nicobar Islands are grouped into two main clusters. Separated by a 150 km (93 mi) wide channel. Plus, travelling from Chennai to Andaman can be tricky for you. However, acknowledging the best route can help you to cover the Chennai-Andaman distance with ease. There are mainly two convenient ways you can reach Andaman, either by flight or by ship. You can only take a train to Chennai, and from there you can take a flight to Andaman.

How To Reach Andaman From Chennai By Train

There is no direct way to reach Andaman from Chennai by train, as Andaman is surrounded by sea. However, if you really want to travel to Andaman by sea. Then you can take a train to the nearest city from Andaman. Or take a train to Chennai or Kolkata; there are several options such as Coromandel Express, and MAS HWH SF Mail. Can help you to reach Chennai which will take 28 hours covering approximately 1,654 km of distance. From there, you can board a flight or ship to reach your destination.

How To Reach Andaman From Chennai By Air

The most rapid and smooth way to reach Andaman from Chennai is by plane ride, as the Andaman is surrounded by waters and has no road or direct rail connectivity. So taking a plane ride can be the most convenient and fastest way to reach. You can take a flight from Chennai through Madras International Meenambakkam Airport (MAA), also known as Chennai International Airport, to Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXJ) in Port Blair (Shri Vijaya Puram). Which covers 1,367 kilometres from Chennai to Andaman in just 2 or 3 hours.

How To Reach Andaman From Chennai By Ship

Another way to reach Andaman from Chennai is by ship which can be considered the convenient way to reach the Andaman, and the reason of this particular statement is that the Andaman is fully surrounded by sea with no direct connectivity of road or rail. Hence you can take M.V. Nancowry, M.V. Akbar, or M.V. Nicobar to go to Andaman. It will take 55- 60 hours, approx., 2-3 days to reach Port Blair covering a distance of around 1462 kilometres.

Sndpchopade's 6 days trip to Andaman

We thoroughly enjoyed our Andaman tour. The environment was pleasant, the beaches were clean, and the water activities were exciting. The entire experience was made even better by the excellent travel management provided by our travel agent, Premila Ma'am. A special mention goes to our cab driver, Sumit Narayan — a very nice, cooperative, and sweet person. Thanks to Travel Triangle for such a memorable tour!

Sayan's 6 days trip to Andaman

Agent was very kind and cooperative till the service was booked. Her phone's network issue increased as soon as the full payment was made. However she was coordinating well through whatsapp messages. All the cab drivers were well behaved. No issues at all on that side. Cruise rides were fantastic. No complaints to make. We have really enjoyed the trip. Everything on this trip was perfect except for the hygiene maintained on the "Blue Waves Beach Resort" on Havelock Island. Though the resort has a private beach but it does not have good cleanliness. The bedsheets were not clean, lot of mosquitos, food services was very bad. Other than poori/paratha & veg curry there was nothing available. Toilets were full of lizards and cockroaches. TV's were not working. Other hotels were really amazing. Services were fantastic.
