Start with the places you want to experience
A first Andaman holiday is easier to plan when you choose the route before the package price. Glider's route catalogue uses Port Blair, Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep as proposed stay bases. They are alternatives and possible combinations, rather than a promise that every holiday includes all three. Decide which base contains your main priority, then give the remaining days a purpose.
Three starting points to compare
Port Blair
The catalogue's single-base plan for Port Blair lasts four days, with arrival and departure counted. Cellular Jail is one of the suggested priorities; Corbyns Cove and Chidiya Tapu are additional planning ideas. Choose this base when these stops matter more to you than changing hotels. If Swaraj Dweep is also a must-have, compare the linked six-day route instead of squeezing an additional base into the arrival day.
Swaraj Dweep
The catalogue's single-base plan for Swaraj Dweep lasts four days, with arrival and departure counted. Radhanagar Beach is one of the suggested priorities; Kalapathar and Elephant Beach planning are additional planning ideas. Choose this base when these stops matter more to you than changing hotels. If Shaheed Dweep is also a must-have, compare the linked six-day route instead of squeezing an additional base into the arrival day.
Shaheed Dweep
The catalogue's single-base plan for Shaheed Dweep lasts four days, with arrival and departure counted. Bharatpur Beach is one of the suggested priorities; Laxmanpur Beach and Natural bridge are additional planning ideas. Choose this base when these stops matter more to you than changing hotels. If Port Blair is also a must-have, compare the linked six-day route instead of squeezing an additional base into the arrival day.
Match the route to the time available
| Route | Trip length | Stay bases |
|---|---|---|
| Port Blair | 4 days / 3 nights | 1 |
| Port Blair → Swaraj Dweep | 6 days / 5 nights | 2 |
| Port Blair → Swaraj Dweep → Shaheed Dweep | 8 days / 7 nights | 3 |
The four-day option keeps one stay base; the six-day examples connect two, and the eight-day plan uses three. Arrival, transfers and departure use part of that time. Open the day-wise plan to see where hotel changes occur. A longer destination list can give you less time in each place even when the overall trip has more days.
Turn the route into a useful enquiry
- Name your preferred first and last base in Andaman.
- List two experiences you want to protect if the schedule needs simplifying.
- Share departure city, total available days and whether travel days are included in your leave.
- Ask for the transport between bases, named hotels and ticketed visits to be itemised.
For example, a traveller choosing Port Blair and Swaraj Dweep should ask how the connection fits between the two hotel stays. Someone choosing only Shaheed Dweep should ask how arrival and departure work for that base. Those questions make the quotation comparable to the route you actually want.
