Best time to Visit

Without any second thought, I agree that these places are the best honeymoon destinations. If you both are beach lovers, you can visit either Andaman or Lakshadweep all around the clock throughout the year. Because the holiday time is always fun.

An ideal time for a trip to Andaman would be from October to May. You can insanely indulge in the spectacular beaches under the star-lit sky that makes your heart so calm and soothing. Whether you choose to scuba dive, tread, splash, or sail, all the beaches during this time period provide you with anything and everything. Also, the chilled beer is just a cherry on the cake. Just saying!

The best time to visit Lakshadweep is from October to April. From mid-May to September it is rainy. Though all the resorts in Lakshadweep are open throughout the year, reaching there by ship is difficult during monsoon, little risky, and most of your holiday would get wasted on the travel. Islands like Agatti and Bangaram are pleasant even during the monsoon and can be reached by flight from Kochi.

Best Honeymoon Destination Andaman Vs Lakshadweep

Beaches: There is no doubt that the beaches on both these destinations are a slice of paradise. Clear waters and white sand make them irresistible. Even then, it can’t be disputed that Andaman is home to Radhanagar beach which has often been cited as the best beach in Asia and regularly counted among the best beaches in the world. If your main idea is to rest on the beach and have a good time, then you’ll probably need to do an eenie meenie mina mo to decide as they are both equally good.

Water sports: Both islands have waterfronts developed keeping tourists in mind. They offer glass bottom boat rides, kayaking and scuba diving among other options.

Attractions: When it comes to other attractions, Andaman comes on top. From the cellular jail to mud volcanoes to limestone caves, treks, rainforests, waterfalls, natural sand bars, bridges and even an active volcano, there is so much to do and see in Andaman that you’ll wonder if a 6 days, 7 nights package will cover it all. If sun, sea and sand were equal, Andaman gives much more value for your budget.

Andaman and Lakshadweep share stunning marine life, coral reefs, and exotic beaches. They are offbeat destinations and known to have so many similarities in terms of beaches, water sports, cruise tourism, sea, and sand.
