💡 Travel Tips
💰 Book inter-island ferries in advance during peak season (December-January) and stay in budget guesthouses on Neil Island instead of Havelock to save 30-40% on accommodation while enjoying equally beautiful beaches.
📅 October to May is ideal for visiting Andaman, with pleasant weather, calm seas, and perfect conditions for water sports and beach activities. Avoid June to September due to monsoons and rough seas that can disrupt ferry services and water activities.
🛂 Indian citizens with valid passports can enter Andaman without any visa or special permits. Simply present your passport at Port Blair Airport or ferry terminals for entry.
