October to May — dry, pleasant weather and calmer seas. Avoid the monsoon months (June–September) when heavy rains and rough seas disrupt transport.

Tropical maritime climate: warm and humid year-round. Daytime temperatures generally range from 24°C to 32°C. Expect occasional rain outside the dry season and brief evening breezes.

Reachable by boat from Port Blair (the nearest airport is Veer Savarkar Airport, Port Blair). Travel options include government passenger ferries and private boats/cruises — journey time can vary widely (typically 3–5 hours depending on service and sea conditions). Local transport on the island is limited: foot, short boat rides and occasionally motorbikes or shared jeeps. Expect basic roads and limited signage.

2–3 days to experience main beaches, a village walk and some snorkeling; extend to 4–5 days if you want relaxed exploration and boat trips.

Lightweight cotton clothing, a windbreaker or light rain jacket (for evenings or sudden showers), sturdy sandals or water shoes, swimwear, sunhat and sunglasses. Bring reef‑safe sunscreen, insect repellent, a basic first‑aid kit, and your own snorkel/mask if you prefer hygienic gear.

Local cuisine focuses on fresh seafood, coconut‑based curries, rice and simple island fare. Try freshly caught fish, prawn dishes and coconut preparations. Souvenirs typically include shell crafts, handmade items and small tribal or island handicrafts (buy from local vendors to support the community).
