A flight from Kolkata or Chennai takes two hours, while the one from Delhi takes about five hours. Ships take as long as 50 hours to reach Andamans.
Yes, Indian Rupee (INR) is the currency used in the Andaman Islands. There are several ATMs and Bank branches on inhabited islands that can be used to withdraw money.
The ideal duration of family holidays in Andamans varies from 4 nights, 5 days to 7 nights, 8 days. Depending on the number of islands one wishes to cover and number of activities one wishes to partake in, the ideal stay duration varies greatly.
The weather is quite unpredictable in the Andaman Islands. Carry extra clothes as Andaman is famous for sudden rain spells.
The Andaman Islands are very relaxed in rules. Just some simple etiquettes like dressing up properly and asking for permission before taking pictures should be kept in mind. Having said that, since Andamans is a protected area, one should not expect comfort equivalent to the level of one on mainland in India.
