💡 Travel Tips
💰 Book accommodations and water sports packages during shoulder season (April-May or September-October) to get 30-40% discounts compared to peak season while still enjoying good weather
📅 October to May is the ideal season when weather is pleasant with calm seas and clear skies, perfect for water activities and island hopping. Avoid June to September monsoon season when heavy rainfall and rough seas make water sports and beach activities challenging.
🛂 Indian citizens with valid passports do not require any visa to visit Andaman and Nicobar Islands—it's a domestic destination. You'll only need your national ID card or passport for entry.
