October to May — post-monsoon and winter months offer calmer seas, clearer skies and more reliable ferry services. Avoid the monsoon (June–September) due to heavy rains and rough seas.

Tropical maritime climate: warm and humid year-round. Typical temperatures range from 24°C to 32°C. Monsoon brings heavy rain and rough seas (June–September); November to February is generally the most pleasant.

No formal entry fee. The site is accessible all day but is best visited at low tide and near sunset for safety and views—check local tide timings. There are no official opening hours.

Reachable via Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep). From Port Blair (Veer Savarkar International Airport) take a ferry or passenger ship to Neil Island (journey typically 1.5–3 hours depending on the service). From Neil Island jetty, Lakshmanpur and the Natural Bridge are a short road trip (roughly 15–30 minutes by scooter, taxi or cycle). The last stretch involves walking on rocky ground—wear suitable footwear. There is no train service; nearest airport is in Port Blair.

Spend 30–90 minutes at the Natural Bridge itself (longer for photography). Plan 1–2 days on Neil Island to explore Lakshmanpur Beach, natural bridge and nearby snorkeling spots.

Light, breathable clothing, sturdy sandals or water shoes for slippery rocks, sunhat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, insect repellent, and a small first-aid kit. Carry water and snacks; shade may be limited.

Try local seafood and coconut-based island dishes at Neil Island eateries. Souvenirs: handmade shell crafts, local handicrafts and woven goods. Avoid purchasing coral or items made from protected marine life—these are harmful and often illegal.
