From Kolkata to the Andamans

One can get to the Andamans from Kolkata by either air or water.

Arrive In Andaman by Air

Assume you have booked one of our top luxury Andaman and Nicobar packages and are now impatient to experience its pleasures in the Andaman Islands. It is understandable that you would want to fly to the Andaman. Let’s explore which route will be the finest flight route from Kolkata to the Andamans.

The Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata is a departure point for flights to Port Blair, including non-stop direct flights, and acts as a hub for Air India. Jet Airways and Air India offer flights that take at least two hours and five minutes and go as far as 1,304 kilometers in the air.

So, air travel to Andaman Island is now easier and less taxing than it was in the past. It is in your best interest to steer clear of multi-stop flights since, despite the fact that the fares will be more affordable; the amount of time it will take to reach the first destination will exceed 13 hours. There are around 31 flights, some of which are direct while others have many stops, that depart from Kolkata and go to Port Blair.

Arrive in Andaman by Water

If you appreciate the journey as much as the destination, it is logical that you would choose the sea path to reach the Andamans. Let’s look at how to get to Andaman by sea.

The availability of direct ships to the Andaman Islands makes it possible to satisfy long-held desires to go on a trip by selecting a passenger ship service that travels from Kolkata Port to Port Blair. This is because there are no direct ships to the Andaman Islands. Despite the fact that Kolkata is one of the fewer destinations for a trip to the Andaman Islands, the ships MV Nicobar and MV Akbar will take longer than ships departing from other locations.

Before arriving at the island, the voyagers would have to spend about 66 to 70 hours, which is more than two days, cooped up inside the ship. Those passengers who are prone to motion sickness are strongly encouraged to find other means of transportation for their trip, since the same ship will take between two and four days to make its stop at Port Blair. The reservation process needs to be done about 15 hours before departure, and if the weather is bad, the departure time might be pushed back.
