When to visit Port Blair
High and low season in Port Blair
October through May is the best window for visiting Port Blair. The weather is dry and settled, the sea is calm enough for island-hopping and water activities, and most attractions are fully accessible. This is also the busiest period, so booking accommodation and permits for nearby areas well in advance is a practical move, especially around December and January when demand peaks.
The monsoon season runs roughly from June through September, bringing heavy rain and rough seas to Port Blair. Ferry services and water-based activities can be disrupted or suspended during this time, which limits how much of the surrounding area you can explore. If you do visit in the low season, you'll find far fewer visitors and lower prices, but it's worth going in with flexible plans.
The Island Tourism Festival is a well-known annual event held in Port Blair, typically taking place in January. It features cultural performances, local crafts, music, and food, and gives visitors a good introduction to the region's heritage. For details on current events and activities, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands tourism office is a reliable resource to check before your trip.
