Best Time to Visit Andaman & Reason

Andaman & Nicobar Island is having a Tropical Climate throughout the year; thus, it is a year-round destination for tourist. It is neither too hot not cold throughout the year. Highest temperature goes to 37 Degree in Summer & 20 Degree in Winter.

However, the best time to visit is between October to April, as during this time climate is quite pleasant & it is good of Activity (Mainly Water Sports), Sight Seeing & etc. Rest of the months is also good to visit but it is it hot during summers & rainy season there are high tidal waves. Also, the entire year climate is humid depending on the month you visit.

There are quite few islands which normally as a tourist we have visited. But some of the most visited & popular tourist islands are Port Blair, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island (Ross Island), North Bay Island, Havelock Island, Neil Island & others. We have planned to visit these islands based on our research & travel agency recommendation.

For visiting these islands, the ideal time required 6 Nights & 7 Days. During these days, you can experience the entire island, sports activity, ferry rides, explore local cuisines etc.

Important Note:

We have contacted local tour operator of Port Blair & Booked our own flight based on our convenience.
We have not preferred High Class Hotel & Resort but a decent one with cleanliness.
There are Private Ships as well which will take you to Havelock Island & Neil Island, but we preferred Govt. Ship for 2 reasons. 1^st, It is cost effective & 2^nd if you can go on top deck to enjoy view of sea & its surroundings islands.
