For the best weather and clear skies, it is best to plan your excursion at Andaman during the months of October to May. Avoid the monsoon months due to the torrential rainfall that the island is exposed to which can be quite dangerous for the tourists and will also ruin your plans.

Bus services are the most convenient and readily available from STS Bus Terminal at Aberdeen Bazaar. It will take you around 2 hours 30 minutes. You will even have to take a ferry ride to reach the main island and that is a very exciting experience on its own.
A tropical carnival, with melodious twittering of birds and the clear water of the ocean lapping at your feet as the sun slowly sets painting the skies crimson – this island has come alive from a painting that you will fall in love with which is one of the main reason to visit andaman to this exquisite island. However, apart from relaxing and chilling with your friends.
Nature’s own architecture, these naturally formed limestone caves at Andaman are a treat for your eyes. Take a walk through dense mangrove forests to reach these caves that have been formed over years through corrosion. The limestone formations emerge from the ceiling as well as the floor and makes for a marvellous texture that will leave you awestruck. It is a magical experience to see nature transform and evolve and create beautiful structures every day.
Did you ever imagine getting close to volcanoes? Well, now you can even hike and walk over these volcanoes lined around the island. Nature’s mysterious creations, these volcanoes were formed several years ago and are much smaller than the ones you have seen in videos. However, don’t be afraid, unlike the volcanoes you have read about, these volcanoes do not erupt hot molten lava but instead natural gases like methane erupt out as explosions.
Enjoy a tranquil and romantic boat ride through mangrove forests spread around the island creating a canopy. A step into the forests would make you feel like you have stepped into the magical world of Alice in Wonderland. The slow meandering waterway leads to exquisite land of the limestone caves. Awake the photographer and bird watcher within you as you will be blessed with views of exotic birds and animals that will leave you mesmerised. The canopy creates tantalising patterns on the water and you will be surprised to see rays of sunshine penetrating the thick forest to shine on you. A truly magical experience!
One of the best experiences that the Baratang Island has to offer is none other than sea walking. Imagine taking a stroll underwater while schools of fishes float by you in greeting. Only in dreams did you think this was possible! But now this can be a reality. The North Bay Island is where you need to go to take part in this ethereal experience. Don’t worry if you don’t know swimming, a sea walk is perfect for you as the guides will help you get up close with the myriad and vibrant aquatic life.
Enjoy a serene and peaceful ride around the Jarawa Creek to absorb and appreciate the sheer pristine beauty of the island.

They live in harmony with nature and their days are filled with dance, music and hunting. If you are lucky, you might get a glimpse of them amidst the dense greenery.
