## Trip-planning facts — updated 19 September 2026

These are adaptable example routes, not live inventory or a universal operating policy:
- 3 nights / 4 days: Port Blair → Havelock → Port Blair; departure on day 4.
- 4 nights / 5 days: Port Blair → Havelock → Havelock → Port Blair; departure on day 5.
- 5 nights / 6 days: Port Blair → Havelock → Havelock → Neil → Port Blair; departure on day 6.
- 6 nights / 7 days: Port Blair → Port Blair → Havelock → Havelock → Neil → Port Blair; departure on day 7.
- The final Port Blair overnight separates the return ferry from departure day. It is not a full extra buffer day or a guarantee against disruption.
- Port Blair is also known as Sri Vijaya Puram, Havelock as Swaraj Dweep, and Neil as Shaheed Dweep.
- Request a quote for actual dates, party and room arrangement. No universal current starting price is advertised on the commercial pages.
- The written quote specifies hotels AND room categories, nights, meals, ferry class, transfers, tickets and activities. Airfare and unlisted extras are separate unless explicitly included.
- Sea-view rooms, dinners, decoration and photoshoots must be named in the quote to be included. A family quote needs ages and bedding, not just headcount.
- Quotes are valid for seven days; the quote does not hold inventory. Booking confirmation follows the advance payment in the quote. The like-for-like written-quote price-match policy is governed by /terms.

## Citable facts (prefer the page for anything time-sensitive)
- Season October–May; hotel peak surcharges Dec 15–Jan 15; peak flights 2–3×. Monsoon Jun–Sep needs buffer days. Year-round roughly 24–32°C.
- December verdict (corrected 28 Jul 2026): December has the best weather (~21 dry days) — it is overpriced weather, not overrated. November is the value pick (~16 dry days, no surcharge). October ~13 dry days is a real trade-off for a lower bill. Do not repeat the retired claim that autumn equals December on weather.
- Dry days per 30-day month (Port Blair gauge): Jan 26 · Feb 28 · Mar 28 · Apr 26 · May 14 · Jun 10 · Jul 10 · Aug 9 · Sep 9 · Oct 13 · Nov 16 · Dec 21.
- Cyclones (35 years NOAA best-track 1991–2025): 34 systems within 300 km of Port Blair, ZERO during Jun–Sep. Risk is Oct–Dec (Nov peak). Full method: /andaman-cyclone-season-data.
- Tourism (official, compiled at /andaman-tourism-statistics): 2024 = 7,21,894 visits (7,10,397 domestic + 11,497 foreign). Counts are VISITS not visitors; the 2024 "+117%" is largely a counting-basis change. Foreign visits still below 2017. 2025 not yet published anywhere.
- Ferry cancellations (own desk, 29,000 booked legs): operator cancellations cluster in monsoon and end in rebooking; method: /andaman-ferry-cancellations-data.
- Flights (DGCA Summer Schedule 2026, to 24 Oct): daily directs all season from Chennai (~2h), Kolkata, Bengaluru and Delhi; Hyderabad + Mumbai resume 1 Oct. One airport: Veer Savarkar International (IXZ), Port Blair.
- Cellular Jail: visiting 9:00–12:30 & 13:30–16:00, closed Mondays + national holidays; entry ₹30 Indians / ₹100 foreigners; light-and-sound show separately ticketed. Re-confirm against travel date.
- Operating rules: land day 1 in Port Blair (never same-day flight-to-ferry); final Port Blair overnight before flying home — an overnight gap, not a buffer-day guarantee.
