    Monsoon - June to September

    Generally, water activities are limited during heavy rains and strong winds. Also, traveling by boat is not advised under such conditions.

    General guidelines of Andaman and Nicobar Islands Holiday Packages from Delhi

    There are a few rules and conditions that are followed by the tour and travel companies. These are as follows:

    Alternative sightseeing arrangements are usually made if a scheduled sightseeing trip gets canceled due to certain reasons. The price of Andaman holiday packages varies for national and international tourists, as there are certain restrictions on movement, the difference in entry fees, etc.

    For foreigners or NRIs, the package price is comparatively higher. The detailed price scheme can be taken from the tour operator. They may also require a visa to visit certain locations. However, no visa is required for Indian nationals.

    There are several islands in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands that are inhabited by unique and rare aborigines. They live in complete isolation and seclusion in order to preserve their civilization and culture from the outer world. The Indian government, as well as the forces, is committed to protecting the purity of its culture and race. There are certain areas on the island for which a special permit is required to visit.

    A few areas get inaccessible, and ferries stop plying in the monsoon season (months of June, July, and August). Most of the tour operators inform their clients about the timings and accessibility probabilities. For instance, Jolly Buoy Island gets closed during unfavorable weather conditions as it is prone to cyclonic destruction.

    Itineraries might be subject to prior or last-minute changes if there are any unavoidable circumstances. However, the changes will be informed to tourists in advance.

    What an Underwater Wedding Involves?

    Like any other wedding ceremony, an underwater ceremony is also a wedding ceremony, the only difference being that it is carried out under the water. It is an intriguing concept for sure but couples, who want something exclusive, love this idea a lot. Tying the knot under the water is a great choice for you if you are a snorkeler, scuba diver, surfer, ocean lover, or simply an adrenaline junkie. 

    The bride and the groom will be required to wear a mask and a scuba unit. It should be ensured that they both get the perfect fit for everything. If you both do not know diving at all, then a few scuba diving lessons will be given to you so that you are comfortable under the water. However, there is also an option of wearing an underwater helmet as no training will be required then. A safety briefing will be given before your wedding ceremony. After that, you will dive down wearing the necessary gear. During your underwater wedding ceremony in the Andaman Islands, you can either stand up or kneel. The choice is completely yours. 

    uw1.jpg

    How is the Underwater Wedding Ceremony Conducted?

    Whether you want to tie the knot, exchange the rings, or exchange your vows, anything can be done in an underwater wedding. Diving slates are used for a written version. There are a few ways by which you can hear each other as well. You can wear underwater helmets with audio systems or a full face mask with com units. And then, you can exchange the rings. Seems out of a fairytale, isn’t it? 

    Whist wearing a scuba diving mask, kissing your partner first time as a married couple can be more awkward than romantic. But it must be absolutely okay with you given the kind of rare wedding you are having. 

    You will be ascending to enjoy a festive party with your guests after the underwater wedding. Just change your clothes and join the fun.

    Remember to check the weather forecast on a regular basis as your dive may get postponed or cancelled on the day due to poor weather. Good visibility, no currents, and preferably warm water are the essential requirements for an underwater wedding.

    Reaching the Andaman Islands from Chennai

    There are two ways by which you can reach the capital town of the Andamans when travelling from Chennai—via air and water. Let’s explore each option below:

    Reaching Port Blair by air

    flights-to-andaman.jpg

    If you are travelling to the Andaman Islands from Chennai, then you should know in advance that it is going to be a very smooth journey. There are daily direct flights from Chennai to Port Blair, the capital city of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

    There is only one airport in the Andamans—Veer Savarkar International Airport, Port Blair. It takes nearly 1 hour and 50 minutes to reach there from Chennai. The round trip costs approximately Rs.6,000. Flights are faster and more comfortable. Thus, it is a preferred option.

    Pro travel tip: Taking an early morning flight will help you in utilizing the rest of the day.

    Reaching Port Blair by Water

    Luxury-Cruise-from-Chennai-to-Andaman.jpg

    You can also reach Port Blair by sailing from the ports of Chennai. Operated by the Indian government, the voyage via these ships takes nearly three to four days (50-60 hours). Haddo Wharf is the main seaport in the town. Three to four sailings take place from Chennai every month.

    You should know in advance that these passenger ships are not cruise liners and thus do not have entertainment and food options. Moreover, booking can only be done from the shipping corporation office in Chennai. The booking process is quite time-consuming.

    Online booking is not available. Ships are cheaper, but general passenger ships are more troublesome. If you are travelling between May and October, then seasickness is also common. However, if you want to experience a voyage amidst the blue sea, then we recommend a ship journey. It is an unusual adventure in itself.

    Reaching the Andaman Islands from Kolkata by Water

    2.jpg

    You can also reach Port Blair by sailing from the port of Kolkata. Operated by the Indian government, the voyage via the ship takes nearly three to four days (50-60 hours). Haddo Wharf is the main seaport in the town. Three to four sailings take place from Kolkata every month.

    You should know in advance that the passenger ship is not a cruise liner and thus does not have entertainment and food options. Moreover, booking can only be done from the shipping corporation's office in Kolkata. The booking process is quite time-consuming. Online booking is also not available. However, if you want to experience a voyage amidst the blue sea, then we recommend a ship journey.

    Overview of the Route

    • Distance: Approximately 1,200 kilometers
    • Journey Time: Between 60 to 70 hours, depending on weather conditions

    Ships and Facilities

    Three primary vessels operate on the Kolkata-Port Blair route:

    • MV Nicobar
    • MV Nancowry
    • MV Swaraj Dweep

    Each ship provides various classes of accommodation, from Deluxe Class cabins to more budget-friendly Bunk Class options.

    Here's a breakdown of what to expect:

    Ticket Class Overview Pricing (INR)
    Deluxe Class Private cabins with the highest comfort level, similar to a small hotel room. 10,000–12,000 per person
    First Class Cabin Comfortable private cabins with basic amenities. 8,000–10,000 per person
    Bunk Class Dormitory-style seating is ideal for budget travelers with shared facilities. 2,500–3,000 per person

    Note: Prices are approximate and may change based on seasonal demand and availability.

    How to Book Tickets

    • Booking Offices: Tickets can be booked in person through the Directorate of Shipping Services (DSS) in Kolkata, Port Blair, and other coastal cities. This is often the preferred way, as you can confirm schedules directly and get additional information on seating availability.
    • Online Reservations: Some tickets may be available online through the Shipping Corporation of India or regional DSS websites. Check these sites regularly for schedules and seat availability, especially if you're booking well in advance.
    • Travel Agents: For convenience, you can also book through authorized travel agents who specialize in Andaman trips. They may assist with reservations, updates on schedules, and other travel arrangements.

    Preparing for the Journey

    • Seasickness Medications: Given the extended travel time, bring seasickness tablets or remedies if you are new to sea travel.
    • Food and Water: Meals are provided onboard, but you may want to bring some snacks and drinking water.
    • Personal Comfort Items: With limited entertainment options, consider packing books, games, or downloaded shows.
    • Weather Considerations: The sea route can be unpredictable, especially during monsoon season from June to September, leading to potential delays. Check weather forecasts and plan for possible schedule adjustments.

    Experience and Scenic Views

    • The Bay of Bengal Horizon
    • Sunrise and Sunset Over the Ocean
    • Starlit Night Skies
    • Dolphin and Whale Sightings
    • Bird Watching
    • Islands and Reefs En Route
    • Calm Ocean Reflections
    • Dramatic Cloud Formations

    Key Tips for Your Sea Journey

    • Plan Ahead: Tickets can sell out quickly, especially during peak season. Book early and confirm schedules.
    • Stay Informed: Weather can impact the sailing schedule, so stay updated on any changes.
    • Bring Essentials: Pack light but include personal comforts and essentials for the three-day journey.

    Reaching Port Blair by Air

    Reaching Port Blair by Air

    Veer Savarkar International Airport, the only commercial airport of the Andaman Islands, is located in Port Blair. Direct flights to/from a few cities such as Chennai, Kolkata, and Bangalore are available easily. Flights are faster and more comfortable. Thus, it is a preferred option. However, you should know that there are no direct flights to Andaman Island from everywhere. For instance, if you are flying from Delhi or Mumbai, then you will have a layover in Hyderabad or somewhere else. From there, you will be flying to Port Blair, the capital of the island.

    As of now, no international ship or flight services exist in the Andaman Islands. However, Veer Savarkar Airport has been turned as an official immigration check post by the Indian government so that non-natives can enter and exit directly from there.

    Reaching Port Blair by Water

    Reaching Port Blair by Water

    You can also reach Port Blair by sailing from the ports of Kolkata, Chennai, and Vishakhapatnam. Operated by the Indian government, the voyage via these ships takes nearly three to four days (50-60 hours). Haddo Wharf is the main seaport in the town. Three to four sailings take place from Chennai and Kolkata, and only one sailing from Visakhapatnam every month.

    You should know in advance that these passenger ships are not cruise liners and thus, do not have entertainment and food options. Moreover, booking can only be done from the shipping corporation offices in Chennai, Vizag, and Kolkata. The booking process is quite time-consuming. Online booking is not available. Ships are cheaper but general passenger ships are more troublesome.

    If you are travelling between May and October, then seasickness is also common. However, if you want to experience a voyage amidst the blue sea, then we recommend a ship journey. It is an unusual adventure in itself.  

    Can We Travel to Andaman by Train or Bus?

  • Overview of Planning a Destination Wedding in Andaman

    Are you planning on getting married soon? Are you and your future partner unable to narrow down on one option? Yeah, we understand the dilemma. That’s pretty normal because you both have the same intention- to make your D-Day the best day of your life.

    Let us ask you a question. Would you like the idea of exchanging your vows on a pristine beach surrounded by lush greenery and white sands? We know you have already started to think about this amazing idea. Isn’t it? Congratulations, you are among those few extra romantic couples who have a magical dream destination wedding in Andaman.
     
    Many people are apprehensive regarding logistics, costing, and overall arrangement. To provide you all the relevant details and things to keep in mind, we present here a full-fledged guide on how to plan a beach wedding in Andaman Island.

    {show_package package-id="50,14,16,30" title="Our Package"}

    Selecting the Right Venue

    If you have selected Andaman Island for celebrating the beginning of your new life, then it is obvious to picture yourself standing on a lovely beach with an azure ocean in the backdrop while you gently put your head on your lover’s shoulder. This island is popular for having these kinds of beaches that provide a dreamy background. But you have to keep in mind your budget before finalizing the beach.

    Havelock Island, renamed as Swaraj Dweep in 2018, is a great choice for a beach destination wedding in Andamans. A sweet intimate wedding celebration with close friends and family members and a cocktail party afterward amid the miraculous beauty is what you will be offered here. We would definitely recommend Havelock Island Beach Resort to you if you are looking for hassle-free arrangements.

    Along with taking care of crucial services like that of decorators, caterers, florists, etc., this popular resort will also ensure that all your guests are transferred smoothly. It’s your wedding and we want you to only focus on making the most of this beautiful time. Rest everything else on this reliable beach property.

    Another option is to plan your beach wedding in Port Blair. It’s the capital city and thus, is more accessible than other locations. Not competing with the level of charming Havelock Island, this destination can also be considered.

    Picking the Right Date

    You should not choose any date around the monsoons in Andaman that arrives here in early May and stays for a few months. Andaman has also experienced hurricanes and stormy weather in a few areas. We understand that the weather cannot be predicted six months in advance, but kindly make sure that you have a backup plan at the chosen venue in case of any climatic calamity. For instance, along with the wedding decorations at the beach, you can also get a banquet hall lightly decorated on standby. It won’t take much of your efforts but will prove to be exceptionally beneficial in those rare times.

    Send a Themed Invite

    We would definitely suggest you to try some innovative ideas with your wedding invitation. A unique request sent by you to your guests to attend your wedding is something that they will never forget. You can put your card inside a glass bottle filled with some sand and seashells. Some couples also create a beach-themed wedsite featuring the venue and travel details along with a wish list of gifts. All this will add to a great build-up for a destination wedding. How does that sound? Chic and classy, right

    Making Arrangements For Stay, Food, Venue, Etc.

    Many couples limit the guest list because they want all their guests should stay in the same hotel so that attending everyone becomes easier. That’s why picking such a property becomes mandatory that can accommodate all of them so that there is uniform hospitality and hassle-free management. Keeping all these crucial requirements in mind, we highly recommend Havelock Island Beach Resort because it can even offer you excellent services if your list comprises three-digit guests. Booking the resort for particular dates is not an easy job, but advance planning can help you in getting your job done.
     
    You will get a diverse variety of food here including seafood, which is of course the highlight and top suggestion. Décor for the destination using fresh flowers, etc. will also be taken care of by the resort. Hair and makeup experts, mehndi artists, photographers, and priests will also be arranged easily. This will save your efforts for sure.

    Prepare an Unrestricted Guest List

    Indian weddings are known for attracting relatives from far and wide- if not in thousands, then in hundreds for sure. It is a joyous occasion of nearly a week of festivities and excessive photo opportunities. A beach wedding would anyway have a bigger draw as most of your guests will be clubbing their own holiday after attending the wedding ceremony.

    Keeping in mind an Andaman wedding, usually people would limit their guest list to 50-70 guests owing to the stay arrangements and logistics. Don’t you think that it’s a big challenge for you to decide whom to include and whom to leave? Your school BFFs and workplace seniors would also be required to be added to the list along with close relatives. The whole task would require a lot of maneuvering. Fortunately, you don’t have to worry even a single bit if you pick Havelock Island Beach resort as your wedding destination. The super-spacious beach property is capable of accommodating your guests even if they add up to three digits.  

    How to Reach Havelock Island Beach Resort

    There are ferries plying from Port Blair that take nearly two and a half hours to reach Havelock Island. From there, the resort’s cars will pick up all your guests and drop them safely at the destination. All you need to do is make a request in advance.
