Andaman Tour Packages from Bangalore 2026

How do flights from Bangalore to Andaman work?

Direct flights from Bangalore (BLR) to Port Blair (IXZ) operate daily and cover the route in approximately 2 hours 15 minutes. IndiGo and Air India both run non-stop services on this sector. Connecting flights via Chennai add 3 to 5 hours to total travel time.

Book Bangalore-to-Andaman flights 45 to 60 days in advance to get fares in the Rs.4,500 to Rs.7,000 one-way range. Fares spike sharply during school holidays in May and December. Flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday typically costs less than weekend departures. Carry-on baggage allowance on IndiGo is 7 kg; check-in allowance is 15 kg on most economy fares — pack reef-safe sunscreen in your check-in bag to avoid security delays.

Landing at Veer Savarkar International Airport, Port Blair, you clear a standard domestic arrival. No separate permit is needed for Indian nationals visiting the main Andaman islands. The Restricted Area Permit (RAP) applies only to tribal reserve zones and certain outer islands, not to the standard tourist circuit.

Why do Bangalore travellers choose Andaman over other island destinations?

Bangalore travellers choose Andaman because direct flights keep total travel time under 3 hours, the trip requires no international passport or visa, and the island circuit fits neatly into a 5-night school holiday window. Five specific reasons make Andaman a practical choice from Bangalore.

• Direct connectivity: Non-stop BLR–IXZ flights on IndiGo and Air India run daily, cutting door-to-island time to under 5 hours including airport transit.
• No passport required: Indian nationals need only a government-issued photo ID. This removes the 4-to-6-week passport or visa processing window that international island trips require.
• School holiday alignment: Karnataka school summer holidays (late April to mid-June) overlap with Andaman's shoulder season, giving families a workable travel window before the June monsoon arrives.
• Cost efficiency vs. Maldives: A 5-night Andaman Bangalore trip 2026 costs Rs.25,000 to Rs.45,000 per person all-inclusive. A comparable Maldives water villa package from Bangalore runs Rs.90,000 to Rs.1,50,000 per person.
• Diverse activity range: Radhanagar Beach on Havelock Island, rated among Asia's top beaches, is 30 minutes by road from the ferry jetty. Scuba diving at sites like Lighthouse Reef and Barracuda City suits both beginners and certified divers.

When is the best time to book an Andaman holiday from Bangalore?

The best time for an Andaman holiday from Bangalore is November to April, when rainfall is minimal, seas are calm for ferry crossings, and underwater visibility at dive sites reaches 20 to 30 metres. The table below maps each month against school holidays, weather, and price levels for Bangalore travellers.

How does Andaman from Bangalore compare to Lakshadweep from Bangalore?

Andaman and Lakshadweep are both island destinations reachable from Bangalore, but the two trips differ significantly in access, cost, and activity range. Andaman suits most travellers; Lakshadweep suits a specific profile.

Andaman packages from Bangalore start at Rs.16,999 per person with daily direct flights from BLR to Port Blair taking 2 hours 15 minutes. Lakshadweep requires a ship from Kochi (14 to 20 hours one way) or a limited-seat flight, and entry requires a Lakshadweep Tourism permit that takes 7 to 14 days to process. Andaman offers scuba diving, trekking, and heritage sites like the Cellular Jail. Lakshadweep is almost entirely water-based — lagoon snorkelling and kayaking — with very limited accommodation inventory. For a Bangalore traveller with 5 to 7 days, Andaman delivers more variety at a lower total cost.

What should Bangalore travellers know before booking an Andaman package?

Bangalore travellers booking an Andaman holiday need to plan around four practical areas: airline choice, entry rules, on-island money and connectivity, and first-night logistics at Port Blair.

1. Best airline from Bangalore: IndiGo operates the most frequent BLR–IXZ non-stop services and typically offers the lowest base fares. The direct flight duration is 2 hours 15 minutes. Air India also flies the route non-stop. Both airlines depart from Terminal 2 at Kempegowda International Airport.
2. Entry requirement: Indian nationals do not need a permit to visit Port Blair, Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), or Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep). A valid Aadhaar card or passport serves as sufficient ID. Foreign nationals require a Restricted Area Permit, issued on arrival at Port Blair airport.
3. Currency and SIM cards: The Andaman and Nicobar Islands use Indian Rupees. ATMs are available in Port Blair but are sparse on Havelock and Neil Island. Carry sufficient cash before boarding the ferry. BSNL offers the most reliable mobile network across the islands. Airtel and Jio work in Port Blair and parts of Havelock but have limited coverage on Neil Island.
4. First-night logistics: Flights from Bangalore typically land in Port Blair between 10:00 and 14:00. Use the first afternoon to visit Corbyn's Cove Beach (8 km from the airport) or the Cellular Jail, a national memorial built in 1906 with a capacity for 698 prisoners. Book your Port Blair hotel within 3 km of Aberdeen Bazaar for easy access to the Phoenix Bay Jetty, where ferries to Havelock depart.
