10 Planning Mistakes Tourists Make for an Andaman Trip

 

Planning a trip to the Andaman Islands can be a very pleasant experience. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to avoid making mistakes while enjoying your holidays in Andaman. Here are 10 common mistakes travelers make when planning a trip to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Planning for a short duration

If you don't plan your visit carefully, you'll miss out on many of the Andaman Islands' attractions and activities. You need at least 5 days to really experience Andaman and it all.

Not Packing the Right Clothes

Many people may not know what to wear when visiting the Andaman Islands. Remember we are in the tropics. You will spend most of your time on the beaches of these islands.

Not Booking in Advance

A reservation is always an important decision. A lot of people may have a hard time preparing for this kind of trip, so I have a little advice. Pre-booking accommodation, ferries, and round-trip flights can reduce travel-related stress during your stay. You can make your next reservation without stress.

Expecting fast internet everywhere

No data network or WiFi is available. When it comes to connectivity, only the bare minimum is expected. That means virtually no video calls, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. However, you can also opt for the WiFi feature when booking your accommodation for your trip to Andaman.

Not carrying essential Medicines

Many guests assume they have all the medical supplies they need and don't bring their own. Please note that most goods in Andaman are imported from the mainland. A full supply can create a bottleneck in an emergency. Of course, this is the worst possible situation. Bring your essentials and, if possible, a first aid kit for safety. Better to be safe than sorry.

Expecting  Luxury Cruises

Unlike some popular beach resorts, there are no luxury cruise ships. A ferry, also known as a catamaran. Designed for inter-island travel. Accommodation is not possible. They last only a few hours. Some liveaboards are available but must be booked in advance.

Expecting Andamans are exclusively for honeymooners only

The romantic trend started around 2016 when a new restaurant opened and she started discussing romantic spots in Andaman on her blog. Before that, and certainly now. Andaman was filled with her family, travelers and adventure seekers. Andaman would therefore be a perfect vacation destination for solo travelers, senior citizens, parents with small children and backpackers.

Not all Indian SIMs work there

The internet is also used here, but most of the time there are network problems. If possible, bring a BSNL shim that works best for you. As mentioned above, a strong internet connection is not guaranteed. So don't get your hopes up.

Thinking Andaman is all about Water Sports

No, Andaman isn't all about water sports. There are many things you can participate in if you're not interested, but if you skip them, you're missing out on an important aspect of your vacation. Andaman has something for everyone and you are sure to find something to suit your taste.

Thinking Andaman is Expensive

The majority of visitors to Andaman definitely make this mistake, but Andaman is accessible to all. All price ranges are covered in terms of activities, accommodation, and total costs. Most of the spending comes from travel planning and accommodation choices.
