Q1: What is the best time to visit Andaman?

The best time to visit Andaman is from November to April when the weather is pleasant with clear skies and calm seas. This period is ideal for water activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, and beach hopping. Avoid visiting during the monsoon season from May to October when the islands experience heavy rainfall and rough seas, leading to water sports restrictions and ferry disruptions.

Q2: Do I need a visa to travel to Andaman?

No, Indian nationals do not require a visa to visit Andaman as it is a part of India. However, foreign tourists need a valid Indian visa to travel to Andaman. Make sure to check the visa requirements based on your nationality and ensure your passport has a minimum of six months validity.

Q3: What are the must-visit attractions in Andaman?

Some of the must-visit attractions in Andaman include the pristine Radhanagar Beach, the historic Cellular Jail, the limestone caves of Baratang Island, the stunning Ross and North Bay Islands for snorkeling, and the vibrant local markets of Port Blair. Don't miss out on exploring the marine life at Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park and experiencing the indigenous culture at Anthropological Museum.

Q4: Is Andaman a safe place to travel?

Andaman is generally considered a safe destination for travelers. However, it is advisable to take usual precautions like safeguarding your belongings, avoiding isolated areas at night, and following local guidelines. Stay informed about any specific safety concerns related to water activities or trekking. Consult with local authorities or tour operators for updated safety information.

Q5: What is the local currency in Andaman and can I use credit cards?

The local currency in Andaman is the Indian Rupee (INR). While credit cards are accepted at some hotels, restaurants, and larger establishments in popular tourist areas, it is recommended to carry cash for smaller vendors and local markets. ATMs are available in major towns like Port Blair and Havelock Island, but it's advisable to carry sufficient cash for remote areas.

Q6: What is the local cuisine like in Andaman?

Andaman offers a diverse culinary experience with a focus on fresh seafood like fish, crabs, and prawns. Try local delicacies such as seafood curries, grilled fish, and coconut-based dishes. Vegetarians can savor dishes like dal, vegetable curries, and rice preparations. Don't miss out on trying unique fruits like mangosteen and rambutan. Be cautious with spice levels as Andaman cuisine can be quite fiery for some palates.

Q7: What transportation options are available in Andaman?

Transportation in Andaman includes public buses, auto-rickshaws, and taxis for local travel. Ferries and private boats are common for inter-island transport, connecting major islands like Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil. Renting a scooter or bicycle is a popular choice for exploring smaller islands. Private tour operators also offer car rentals and guided tours. Plan your transportation in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to avoid any last-minute hassles.

Q8: Are there any cultural norms or etiquette I should be aware of when visiting Andaman?

When visiting Andaman, respect the local culture by dressing modestly, especially when visiting religious sites or tribal areas. Seek permission before photographing locals or their homes. Avoid touching or feeding marine life while snorkeling or diving to preserve the ecosystem. Respect the customs of indigenous tribes like the Jarawas and Sentinelese by maintaining a safe distance and refraining from any interactions. Learn a few basic phrases in the local language, Hindi, to communicate with locals and show appreciation for their culture.
