8 Nights 9 Days Andaman Itinerary – Complete Tour Plan
Plan a complete 8 Nights 9 Days Andaman trip covering the beautiful islands and major attractions of Port Blair, Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), Baratang, Rangat and Diglipur.
An 8N/9D Andaman itinerary gives you much more flexibility than a short 3N/4D or 4N/5D trip. You can choose between a relaxed Port Blair–Havelock–Neil holiday or an adventurous South + Middle + North Andaman tour. Current 2026 package listings show 8N/9D options from around ₹34,999 per person, while more comprehensive North Andaman packages can cost more.
