How To Reach Andaman From Mumbai
| By Air | By Road | By Train | By Sea | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mumbai to Andaman | 5.15 hours | - | - | - |
The Andaman Islands lie roughly 2,286 km (about 1,421 miles) east of Mumbai, across the Bay of Bengal. Because the entire distance is over open sea, there is no road or rail route that reaches the islands and no direct ship sails from Mumbai. The only practical way to cover it is a flight from Mumbai (BOM) to Port Blair’s Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ), which takes about 5 hours including the usual single stop at Chennai or Kolkata.
| Mode | Route from Mumbai | Distance | Time | Indicative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| By Air (recommended) | Mumbai (BOM) → Port Blair (IXZ); 1-stop via Chennai/Bengaluru/Kolkata | ~2,286 km / 1,421 mi (great-circle) | ~5 hrs incl. 1 stop (flying time ~2h50m) | Rs 6,000–15,000 one-way |
| By Sea / Ship | No ship from Mumbai, board a govt passenger ship at Chennai, Kolkata or Visakhapatnam | To Port Blair: Chennai 1,362 km · Kolkata 1,297 km · Vizag 1,216 km | 3–4 days sailing (+1–2 days Mumbai → port) | Bunk ~Rs 2,500; cabin higher |
| By Train | Mumbai → Chennai/Kolkata/Vizag railhead by train, then ship or flight onward | Mumbai → railhead ~1,280–1,960 km | 24–36 hrs to railhead + onward leg | Sleeper from ~Rs 600 to railhead |
| By Road | Not possible to the islands; drive only as far as an east-coast port, then ship/fly | To port only | N/A | N/A |
By Air
Taking a flight from Mumbai is the fastest and by far the most popular way to reach Andaman. There is no direct, non-stop flight from Mumbai to Port Blair: every flight from Mumbai routes through one stop, usually Chennai, Bengaluru or Kolkata, on IndiGo, Air India or Air India Express. Total travel time is about 5 hours and one-way fares typically run Rs 6,000–15,000 depending on how far ahead you book and the season.
By Train
There is no train to the Andaman Islands: they sit in the Bay of Bengal with no rail link of any kind. So when people search for a “train from Mumbai to Andaman,” they’re really after the rail-plus-sea route. Take a train from Mumbai to an east-coast departure port, usually Chennai (MAS), Kolkata (Howrah/Sealdah) or Visakhapatnam, then board a flight or a government passenger ship from there to Port Blair.
By train, Mumbai to Chennai takes about 24 hours on services such as the Mumbai–Chennai Mail or the LTT–MAS Express; Mumbai to Kolkata is roughly 30–36 hours; Mumbai to Visakhapatnam around 17–20 hours. Sleeper-class fares to the railhead start near Rs 600. Most travellers use the train only if they specifically want the sea voyage; for everyone else, flying the whole way is faster and not much dearer once train-plus-ship costs are added up.
Cheapest Way to Reach Andaman From Mumbai
The single cheapest way to reach Andaman from Mumbai is to take a train to Chennai, Kolkata or Visakhapatnam and then a government passenger ship to Port Blair. Bunk-class ship tickets cost roughly Rs 2,500 and the train to the port adds a few hundred rupees more, so the full one-way journey can come in under Rs 4,000. If your time is limited, the cheapest fast option is a one-stop flight booked 4–6 weeks ahead, where Mumbai–Port Blair fares can fall to around Rs 6,000 one-way. Booking early and travelling in the May–September low season are the two biggest levers on air price.
