Best Time to Visit

  • The best time to visit Andaman and Nicobar aligns with Vijaynagar Beach's peak appeal from October to May, when dry weather ensures clear skies and calm seas. Temperatures hover at 25-30°C, perfect for water-based fun without monsoon disruptions. Early mornings (6-9 AM) suit sunrise views, while evenings (4-6 PM) offer cooler breezes for strolls. Avoid June-October due to heavy rains that can roughen waters and limit access.
