Whether you want a budget Andaman tour package or a luxury Andaman package, Rover Holidays has it all for you.
Local Ground Support
Internet and mobile network connections in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are generally weak, especially when you go to other islands outside Port Blair. Because of this, you cannot rely on GPS mapping and other services like finding where to eat places in Andaman or vegetarian restaurants in Andaman. At such times, having a local coordinator and a dedicated driver makes travel much easier, as they know the routes, tourist spots, and local arrangements well. This means you won’t have to worry about getting lost, searching for taxis, or dealing with network issues. You will have a smooth and stress-free trip around the islands.

Best Time to Visit Andaman and Nicobar Islands
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are one of the top holiday and beach tour destinations in India. Thousands of tourists visit the Andaman throughout the year. Being a year-round tourist destination, you can pick any season to plan your holiday. But the best time to visit the Andaman is between October and March.
October to March is the peak season for the Andaman tour. During this time, the sea remains calm, the weather is pleasant, and all the water sports and ferry services are fully operational, making it an ideal time to explore this exotic destination. It is even the best time for newlyweds to plan their honeymoon tour.
April to May is the shoulder season, the best time for people seeking secluded places or destinations with fewer crowds. Although slightly warmer, the season offers excellent visibility underwater during scuba diving and snorkeling. It is even ideal for budget-conscious travelers to plan their trip.
June to September is the monsoon season, when almost all the water sports activities and even inter-island ferry services remain suspended. The season brings heavy rainfall and rough seas, making it unsafe to plan an Andaman tour with kids. However, this is also the cheapest time to visit Andaman. Even Andaman travel agents reduce cost or offer discounts on the popular Andaman holiday packages.
Places to Visit in Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Nestled in the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are an archipelago of 836 islands, known for their lush greenery, rich marine life, biodiversity, and golden and white-pearl sandy beaches with crystal clear water.
While tourists are allowed to explore the Andaman Islands, access to the Nicobar Islands is largely restricted. The region protects the indigenous Tribal communities. Therefore, they are not open to general tourists. Most areas are permitted only for government officials or individuals with special authorization. As a result, standard travel packages' itineraries include only the accessible and famous destinations of the Andaman Islands.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are famous for their pristine beaches, coral reefs, lush tropical forests, rich marine life, and history. Here are the top places to visit in Andaman:

Landing in Port Blair from your city, it serves as the base camp for your stay in the Andaman.
From historic sites to architectural marvels, there is a lot to explore in Port Blair, but the one that tops every tour package itinerary is the Cellular Jail, which is historically known as ‘Kala Pani’. This jail was built by the British in ten years to exile the Indian freedom fighters. It is open to tourists, who can see exhibits and other things that reflect the misery and pain of the freedom fighters.
Apart from this, you can explore Samudrika Marine Museum, Corbyn’s Cove Beach, Ross Island, and watch the sunset at Chidya Tapu.

How to Reach Andaman and Nicobar Islands
The primary gateway to the Andaman Islands, recently renamed as Sri Vijaya Puram, is Port Blair, which is also the capital city of the union territory. There are only two ways to reach the Andaman: by air or by sea, since there is no direct road or rail connectivity from India. So, let’s see how you can get here via sea or air.
By Air
Flying to Port Blair is the fastest way to reach the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Tourists take a flight to reach the Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair. You get direct flights from the major cities, like Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, New Delhi, and Mumbai. It takes around 2-2.5 hours to reach Port Blair if you board a direct flight.
By Sea
You can board a passenger ship from Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, and Chennai. The journey typically takes 3-4 days to reach Port Blair. Also, the ships are operational only a few days a month. While it is economical, it is slow and less preferred by tourists. To book a ticket, you should either use the online government portal or visit a shipping office.
Getting Around Andaman
After reaching Port Blair, you can use ferry services to reach the other parts of the Andamans, such as Havelock Island and Neil Island.
Well, you need not worry about getting around in the region, because most tour packages include ferry tickets or other conveyance to make the journey between these islands smooth and convenient.
