How to reach Andaman from Ahmedabad comes down to planning and taking a connecting flight between two cities, since there is no nonstop service to Port Blair from Ahmedabad yet. Travellers can choose between a layover in Delhi or one in Chennai (MAA), and the full journey runs anywhere from 6 hours 10 minutes to 13 hours 30 minutes depending on which connection works out. It adds a layover to the journey, and it also means the trip itself needs a day or two more built in on both ends.
The absence of a direct flight is the main factor to account for when planning an Andaman tour from Ahmedabad, and it affects the budget as well as the itinerary. Connecting fares on this route are higher than for a typical domestic flight, generally between ₹34,000 and ₹68,000 round trip, and travellers typically need to add a day on each end of the itinerary compared to cities with a direct connection.
Both should be factored into planning from the outset, which is why six nights and seven days works out to be the realistic minimum trip length rather than five days to cover the best of Andaman & Nicobar tourism.
Once the dates and flights are sorted, WanderOn's Andaman tour packages run as fixed group & private departures covering Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island, with inter-island ferries already booked in.

Fares climb around Diwali, Christmas, and the summer school break, and since there is no direct flight to fall back on, Ahmedabad to Andaman flights on both connecting options sell out faster than travellers expect for an island route.
How to Reach Andaman from Ahmedabad by Flight
IndiGo, Air India, and Air India Express cover the Ahmedabad to Port Blair journey through two connecting options: one with a layover in Delhi and the other with a layover in Chennai (MAA), since both cities have their own direct connection to Port Blair.
The Delhi layover tends to run shorter overall, while the Chennai option can stretch out depending on the wait between flights. The full journey, layover included, runs anywhere from 6 hours 10 minutes to 13 hours 30 minutes, and fares in economy generally cost between ₹34,000 and ₹68,000 round trip.
Planning an Ahmedabad to Andaman tour really comes down to picking whichever of the two has the shorter wait on the travel dates.
Andaman Tour Packages from Ahmedabad
If you are searching for how to reach Andaman from Ahmedabad and want to get rid of the planning stress, look out for the following packages.
Every Ahmedabad to Andaman group tour WanderOn runs is a fixed departure, not a customised trip, and the ferry bookings between islands are already sorted as part of the package, which matters more here than on routes with a direct flight since there is less room to improvise if a connection runs late.
Booking an Ahmedabad to Andaman tour this way also means you don’t have to plan each day yourself. A quick look at Havelock Island is worth doing before you pick between the group tour and the family package, since the difference mostly comes down to pace rather than places covered. Current dates and inclusions are listed on the packages page.
How Many Days Do You Need for an Andaman Trip from Ahmedabad?
Six nights and seven days is the realistic minimum for an Andaman tour from Ahmedabad, and this is tighter than it sounds once the connecting flight is factored in on both ends. A shorter trip technically works, but it usually means cutting either Havelock or Neil Island out entirely, which defeats the point of coming this far.
Travellers with more flexibility on leave often stretch it to eight days, which gives a full extra day to slow down on Havelock rather than treating it as a one-night stop. Any Ahmedabad to Andaman itinerary shorter than six nights ends up feeling like a layover with a beach attached rather than an actual holiday.
