Andaman Tour Package From Kolkata
How to Reach Andaman from Kolkata: by Flight (CCU–IXZ) & by Ship
There are two ways to reach the Andaman Islands from Kolkata, and the right one depends on your time and budget. Most travellers fly. There is a direct, non-stop flight from Kolkata (CCU) to Port Blair (Veer Savarkar International, IXZ) of roughly 2 hours, so you can land with the day still ahead of you. The slower, more adventurous route is by sea: Kolkata is one of only three mainland ports (with Chennai and Visakhapatnam) that run a government passenger ship to Port Blair, a 3–4 day voyage across the Bay of Bengal. The table below compares both so you can pick before you book.
| Route from Kolkata | Mode | Duration | Cadence | Indicative fare |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kolkata (CCU) → Port Blair (IXZ) | Direct flight | ~2h | Daily | INR 5,000–10,000 one-way |
| Kolkata → Port Blair (via Chennai) | 1-stop flight | ~5–8h | Daily | from ~INR 4,500 |
| Kolkata → Port Blair (Bay of Bengal) | Govt passenger ship | ~3–4 days | A few sailings/month | Bunk to cabin class |
Fly if you have 5–7 days and want maximum island time; consider the ship only if the voyage itself is the experience and you have 10+ days, as sailings are infrequent and tickets are released close to departure. Packages can be built around either.
Best Time to Visit Andaman from Kolkata: Month by Month
The best time to visit the Andamans from Kolkata is October to May, when the seas are calm, skies are clear and visibility is best for scuba and snorkelling. Kolkata travellers have an easy shoulder-season advantage. The short ~2-hour flight means even a long weekend in the cooler months works. June to September is the southwest monsoon, rates drop and the islands are lush and quiet, but ferry crossings are rougher and the Kolkata ship sailings can be suspended.
| Window | Months | What to expect from Kolkata |
|---|---|---|
| Peak / best | Oct – Feb | Calm seas, 23–30°C, best diving visibility; book flights 4–6 weeks ahead, peak fares from Kolkata |
| Shoulder | Mar – May | Warm & sunny, still great for water sports; lower flight fares than peak, fewer crowds |
| Monsoon | Jun – Sep | Cheapest packages, lush islands; rough ferries, possible ship-service suspension |
Andaman Itineraries from Kolkata by Duration (5–9 Days)
Because the Kolkata→Port Blair flight is short and direct, you don't lose a day in transit, so a 5-day trip already covers the headline islands. Here is how the most-booked durations from Kolkata break down:
| Duration | Best for | Route outline |
|---|---|---|
| 5N / 6D | First-timers, couples | Port Blair (Cellular Jail) → Havelock/Swaraj Dweep (Radhanagar, Elephant Beach) → Neil/Shaheed Dweep → fly back from Port Blair |
| 6N / 7D | Families, honeymoon | Adds a slower pace, extra Havelock day for scuba + a Baratang limestone-cave day trip |
| 8N / 9D | Explorers, ship travellers | Adds Diglipur (North Andaman) or a longer island circuit; suits travellers arriving by ship |
Inter-island Ferry Schedules & Islands to Visit
Once you land in Port Blair, you travel between islands by ferry. Private catamaran ferries (Makruzz, Nautika, Green Ocean) and government ferries connect Port Blair to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep, ~1.5–2h) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep, ~1–1.5h). Every TravelTriangle package from Kolkata pre-books your ferry seats, so you don't queue for tickets on arrival.
| Ferry leg | Approx. crossing | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Port Blair → Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) | ~1.5–2h | Private + govt ferries; book ahead in peak season |
| Port Blair → Neil (Shaheed Dweep) | ~1–1.5h | Often combined with Havelock on a 5–6 day route |
| Havelock ↔ Neil | ~1–1.5h | Direct inter-island ferries run daily in season |
Port Blair, Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), Neil (Shaheed Dweep), Baratang and North Andaman's Diglipur are the main stops on an Andaman & Nicobar trip from Kolkata. The Nicobar group and tribal-reserve islands are restricted and not part of tourist itineraries, packages cover the Andaman group.
Andaman Trip Cost from Kolkata
A 5–6 day Andaman trip from Kolkata costs the following per person, including Kolkata→Port Blair flights, island stays, ferries and sightseeing:
| Tier | Per person (5–6 days) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | INR 18,000 – INR 27,000 | 3-star stays, shared transfers, Port Blair + Havelock |
| Standard (most popular) | INR 28,000 – INR 42,000 | 4-star stays, private transfers, adds Neil Island + water sports |
| Luxury | INR 48,000 – INR 80,000+ | 5-star/premium Havelock resorts, private experiences, scuba |
Indian nationals need no special permit (RAP) for the main Andaman Islands, carry a government photo ID. Foreign nationals are granted the permit on arrival at Port Blair.
