Owing to their tropical location, Andaman and Nicobar Islands witness relatively fewer tourists between the months of October to May. On the other hand, the months from December to March have bright, sunny days with ideal diving conditions that are irresistible to tourists. For skilled surfers, the months of February through August offer the best waves in Andaman.

Andaman is irresistible if you like spending time amidst nature or are an adventurous person. From pristine white beaches to lush green tropical forests, Andaman is a paradise for people who seek natural settings. As you stay in the luxurious and secluded resorts spread across the island, every morning, you are greeted with chirping birds and other soothing sounds of nature. If you are an adventure junkie, you can choose to experience the wide range of water sports available on the islands.
