Monsoon (July to September) – Lush but Rainy
If you love quiet, green landscapes and don’t mind the rain, monsoon season can offer a serene, uncrowded version of Andaman.

So, When Should You Visit?
If you're a first-time visitor, October to March is hands-down the best time to explore the islands in all their glory. You’ll enjoy perfect weather, full access to activities, and unforgettable sunsets.
