How to Reach
Transportation Options
- From Sri Vijaya Puram, the first step is to reach Baratang Jetty (also known regionally as Nilambar Jetty). You can take a ferry service from Sri Vijaya Puram to Baratang Island. Alternatively, you can hire a private taxi or take a bus from Sri Vijaya Puram to Baratang, which also marks the start of your Andaman Nicobar trip. From Baratang Jetty, Baludera Beach is around 9–10 km by road towards the eastern side. Public government buses and shared taxis operate from the jetty, but schedules can be limited. For flexibility, most travellers prefer to hire a local taxi for a round‑trip outing that also covers other nearby beaches/attractions.
