Best Time To Visit Andaman and Nicobar Islands

October and May is the best time to visit Andaman & Nicobar Islands as the weather is bright and pleasant during this time. The Monsoons (July to September) are not quite recommended as the waves are unpredictable and specific regions also receive heavy downpours.

Total Daily Budget for 7N, 8D - INR 3600

Daily Budget is around 600 INR per day. (Excluding accommodation, including food, local transport and activities - not adventure activities)

You’ll be surprised to know that most of the tourist spots in Andaman are natural spots. Thus, these spots are free to enter, which would be saving you a lot of money. However, you’ll be eventually paying for food and adventure activities such as snorkelling and scuba diving. These activities are highly recommended when in Andaman.
