Andaman Islands: Quick Facts for Travellers
The Andaman Islands are a symphony of sun, sand, and sea. If you are planning to visit this coastal paradise, get ready to explore a side of India that is pure bliss and where tranquillity meets adventure.
General Information
Languages Spoken
This union territory is a living example of cultural and linguistic diversity. Hindi and English are the official languages of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Moreover, the Great Andamanese and Ongan are said to be the two dominant languages spoken by the indigenous people of the area.
You may also witness local groups of the Nicobar Islands speaking the Nicobarese language. Migration and proximity to South Indian states have influenced the local language scene, and now many residents there also speak Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
Climate
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are situated in the tropical zone, and therefore, they typically experience hot and humid climatic conditions, making them ideal for beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts.
| Climate Type | Tropical and Humid |
| Temperature | 23°C–31°C |
| Humidity | 70%–90% |
October to May is said to be the best time to visit the destination to experience its seasonal beauty.
Seasonal Overview
Andaman experiences two major seasons, the monsoon and the peak tourist season. If you don’t want to miss out on the scenic beauty of the place and are excited to indulge in the adventurous water activities, October to May are said to be the best months to visit the Andaman Islands.
|
June to September are the off-season months, and we would not recommend anyone travelling during this period because of the heavy rainfall. You may not be able to indulge in water sports, boat rides, or, if the sea level rises, visiting beaches would also be difficult.
Indigenous Tribes
Sometimes, the true essence of a place is determined not only by the flora, fauna, and scenic beauty but also by the local and indigenous tribes. They are a raw reflection of the place, showcase the reality, and help us understand the real roots of the place.
- The Onge Tribe and the Great Andamanese Tribe: These are the two main, prominent tribal groups of the area. Furthermore, these are the original inhabitants of the Andaman Islands and consider it their duty to protect and defend the land from any foreign takeover.
- The Jarawa Tribe: It is often believed that the Jarawa Tribe is as old as the land itself. They live, intending to preserve their culture and lifestyle. By profession, these nomads are skilled hunters, and today, going by the number, only 400 of them are left.
- The Sentinelese Tribe: The North Sentinel Island, one of the Islands of Andaman, is home to the indigenous Sentinelese Tribe. This is one of the most enigmatic tribes in the world. Infamous for their hostility, the members of this group prefer staying isolated.
- The Mongoloid Tribes: Both Shompen and Nicobarese come under the Mongoloid Tribes. The members of this group are mostly located on the Nicobar Islands and are known for their closeness to nature. Interactions with both these tribes are mostly limited or prohibited.
Forest Cover
Since the union territory supports luxuriant greenery and rich vegetation, the current forest cover of the Andaman Islands is 7,170.69 sq km, which is around 86% of the total geographical area.
As has been mentioned earlier, the geographical area of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is around 8,249 sq km, comprising 572 Islands.
Mobile Network
Although internet connection is low on some Islands, the main mobile networks supported here are BSNL, Airtel, and Vodafone. In tourist hubs like Port Blair and Havelock, BSNL is considered the most reliable and affordable network.
Local Etiquette
Here are some dos and don’ts that one needs to keep in mind if travelling to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
- Local etiquette in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands mainly focuses on dressing properly in public places, especially at religious spots.
- If you are travelling via public transport, be sure to follow all the driving and traffic rules. Always carry all the required legal documents.
- Plastic bags are banned in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Be sure you do not use one.
- Do not violate the privacy of any tribal group, as it is a punishable offence on the Islands.
Transportation
To explore within the city or for short trips, an auto-rickshaw is the most convenient transport. For longer journeys, you can also consider booking a taxi.
Rental cars and scooters are also available near the airport and are one of the most flexible and affordable ways to explore the islands.
