💡 Travel Tips
💰 Book your flights and accommodations 4-6 weeks in advance during shoulder season (April-May) to get better rates than peak season, and stay in budget guesthouses in Port Blair's Junglighat area instead of resort islands to save 30-40% on lodging.
📅 October to May offers the best weather with calm seas, clear skies, and comfortable temperatures ranging from 23-32°C, making it ideal for water sports and island hopping. Avoid June to September due to monsoon rains and rough seas that can disrupt ferry services and outdoor activities.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa or any special permit to visit Andaman and Nicobar Islands—it's treated as domestic travel. Simply carry your valid passport or national ID for internal flights from mainland India.
