  • Q1.   Where is Andaman and Nicobar Islands?

    A union territory of India, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands consist of as many as 572 islands. Of these, only 38 are inhabited. The island is at the juncture of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. Nearly 150 kilometers north of Aceh in Indonesia, the territory is separated from Myanmar and Thailand by the Andaman Sea. Two island groups are comprised in it— the Andaman Islands (partly) and the Nicobar Islands. The 150-kilometer wide Ten Degree Channel (on the 10°N parallel) separates them.

    Port Blair is the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The total land area of the islands is around 8,249 square kilometers. It is divided into three districts:

    1. The Nicobar District with Car Nicobar as its capital
    2. The South Andaman district with Port Blair as its capital
    3. The North and Middle Andaman district with Mayabunder as its capital
  • Q2.   How do I reach the Andaman and Nicobar Islands?

    Residents of India or Indian nationals can simply fly to Port Blair, the capital city of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, via Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, or Mumbai. There is direct connectivity of daily flights.

    Foreign nationals will be first required to fly into mainland India. Chennai and Kolkata would be the best points of entry as from here, you can reach Port Blair via a direct flight.
