Package tour:

Package tour reduces your head-ache by providing you with facilitators who can plan your trip for you. The service provider can serve you with different packages that can offer different functions. The services include your transportation, booking your tickets, accommodation, places to visit among others. So what should you do to get an Andaman tour package?

  • Self-planned trip:

In a self-planned trip, the risk is all yours. Thanks to the internet, data about the places you want to visit is on your doorstep. All you have to do is visit a trusted website, chart out your trip and then just travel.

People travel to satisfy different needs and travelling for each serves a different purpose. Some like to make it more comfortable, hence opt for packages; while some others would want to do everything from  A to Z themselves. It’s completely your choice whether to go for an Andaman tourist package or plan your trip on your own. End of the day, to each his own.

  • Budget

Another question that might be bothering you is the budget. How much would an Andaman tour package cost like? Well, this depends on various factors like the duration you are planning to spend in the islands, the kinds of activities that you might want to do, how many places you are planning to visit, and a lot of others.

If you google for budget Andaman and Nicobar packages, you can come across packages that are as low as 5000 bucks and might also see packages worth a lakh and more. The idea is to not go for really cheap services as your experience and service might be less than good. Hence, while planning on has to take care of a lot of things.

  • Booking Tickets

How to reach this beautiful island located in the middle of turquoise blue waters? might be another question that might be pestering you. Again it depends on your preference. If you have ample time say 3 to 4 days, you can go for a ship or if you have less time with you, then one can book a flight ticket.

There are ships from both Calcutta and Chennai. Thus, one will have to first reach either of these cities before you begin your voyage to the island. Flight tickets might be a bit expensive. Hence one has to plan the trip a bit earlier and look out for discounts in ticket charge. And book according to your convenience.

You also have options now to book Andaman packages from Kolkata, Chennai or Bangalore.

  • How many days one would need to explore Andaman and Nicobar?

For a tourist who is visiting Andaman for the first time, we suggest you spend at least one week in the islands. Whether you are alone, or if you are in an Andaman honeymoon package or if you are with family, seven days seems to us like an ideal duration to explore this place.

Remember, Andaman is not just about passive travelling where you go to places, but awaiting you is a lot of fun activities like maybe a scuba diving or souvenir shopping.
