Preparing for your trip to the Andaman Islands

1. When to go?
The best time to visit is from September to May, with peak season from October to March. December is a popular travel month, so prices may be higher. You can also visit in June and July to experience the islands during the monsoon.
2. What to pack?
Pack lightweight, breathable clothing such as cotton and linen, including loose-fitting t-shirts, shorts, and sundresses. Don’t forget swimwear, a hat or sunglasses, comfortable walking shoes, and water shoes for activities like snorkelling. If you plan to visit religious sites, bring modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. A light rain jacket or umbrella is also advisable, as sudden showers are common.
3. Travel Documents Required?
For foreign nationals, ensure you have your passport, visa, and any required permits. Some areas of the Andaman Islands require a Restricted Area Permit (RAP), so obtain this in advance.
4. Are Medicines Available?
Although over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are available in some locations, we recommend that you bring any essential medications you may need, along with a basic first-aid kit.
5. How Do I Plan My Budget?
Decide on a rough budget and divide it into categories such as transport, sightseeing, and hotel reservations. You might also consider booking a tour package that includes meals.
6. Are There ATMs?
There are ATMs in Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island, but it’s wise to carry some cash. UPI apps like Google Pay and Paytm also work well in the Andaman Islands.
