Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
The honest, simple truth about Andaman entry rules.
There's plenty of outdated advice about Andaman permits online, so here's the straight version. For Indian nationals, no permit is required for the main tourist islands — Port Blair, Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep). Only a few protected areas need a locally arranged permit, and foreign visitors simply register on arrival. In short, entry is far easier than many travellers expect.
No permit needed to enter. Settle in and visit the Cellular Jail and its evening show.
Ferry across freely to Swaraj Dweep — no permit required — for Radhanagar Beach and scuba.
Another permit-free island; enjoy Bharatpur, Laxmanpur and the Natural Bridge.
A day trip to the limestone caves, where a local forest permit is arranged on the morning of travel.
Return to Port Blair for your flight home, formalities-free.

The old Restricted Area Permit (RAP) that once applied to the main islands has been lifted for Indian nationals. That means Port Blair, Havelock and Neil are all freely accessible — no paperwork, no queues, just your ID for hotels and flights.
A handful of ecologically or tribally sensitive areas still require a permit. The most common for tourists is Baratang, where crossing the reserve to the limestone caves needs a forest/area permit. This is arranged locally on the day of travel, and we handle the logistics for you.
Foreign visitors are also welcome on the main islands and simply register on arrival at the airport or seaport. Some restricted zones remain off-limits, but the classic beach and dive circuit is open.
Because the main circuit is permit-free for Indians, planning an Andaman holiday is genuinely straightforward. The only real advance work is booking ferries, scuba and the Cellular Jail show — all of which we take care of.
Packages start from ₹13,999 for a 2 Nights / 3 Days short trip, rising with the number of nights and inclusions. The price table is a starting guide; your final quote reflects hotels, islands, ferries and season.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
