November to March is the best period for pleasant weather and to witness turtle nesting and hatchlings (peak nesting/hatchling months often December to February). Avoid the monsoon season (June to September) due to heavy rains and rough seas.

Tropical maritime climate: warm and humid year-round. Dry season (Nov–Apr) offers calmer seas and sunnier weather; monsoon (Jun–Sep) brings heavy rainfall and rough sea conditions.

Karmatang Beach is on Little Andaman Island. Reach Port Blair (Veer Savarkar International Airport) first; then take a government passenger ship/ferry to Hut Bay (Little Andaman) — ferry duration can range from about 6–8 hours or longer depending on service and conditions. From Hut Bay, local transport (taxis, motorbikes, or arranged transfers) is used to reach Karmatang area. Helicopter and occasional special boat services may be available but costly. Cell service and facilities are limited; plan accordingly.

1–2 days on Little Andaman to include travel time; 2–3 days if you want relaxed exploration and to join turtle-watching programs or visit multiple island attractions.

Light, breathable clothing; sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses); sturdy sandals or shoes for walks; insect repellent; a flashlight/headlamp for evening use (respect turtle-watching rules about lights); a lightweight rain jacket if visiting near monsoon transitions.

Try fresh local seafood and simple island cuisine available in Hut Bay and nearby villages—coconut-based curries, fish dishes, and local snacks. Souvenirs include local handicrafts and woven items; avoid buying animal products or anything made from shells, corals, or turtles (illegal and harmful). Support community-run products and eco-friendly souvenirs.
