How to reach Andaman from Pune has one practical answer, take a connecting flight, since Pune Airport has no direct flight to Port Blair. Most travellers book through Pune, Bangalore, or Chennai, and an Andaman trip from Pune usually takes between seven and fifteen hours depending on how well the layover lines up.
Pune's own connectivity is strong enough that the missing direct flight rarely causes real trouble. Multiple daily flights link Pune to each of the hub cities above, so travelers can usually pick a connection that fits their schedule rather than build a trip around a single fixed departure. Andaman & Nicobar tourism covers the bigger picture, from weather patterns to how most visitors structure a week across the islands.
WanderOn takes over once your flight is booked, running fixed group & private departures through Port Blair, Havelock and Neil Island with a trip captain handling the itinerary and every inter-island ferry sorted ahead of time. Review WanderOn's Andaman tour packages to match a departure date with your connecting flight.

None of these three options apply to an Andaman trip from Pune. Pune sits far inland in Maharashtra and has no port, so it is not one of the three mainland cities, Chennai, Pune, and Visakhapatnam, that run a passenger ship to Port Blair.
Rail and road face the same basic problem regardless of the starting city: the Andaman Islands sit more than a thousand kilometers out in the Bay of Bengal, with open sea the entire way, so no railway line or highway reaches them from anywhere in India. Flying, with a connection, remains the only realistic way to get there from Pune.

20 Apr 2026I recently had an amazing experience with Wonder on travel agency during my trip to Andaman & Nicobar. Everything was perfectly planned and managed, which made our journey completely stress-free and enjoyable. A special thanks to Mansha Watts, who was incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the trip. From planning the itinerary to being available whenever we needed assistance, she ensured everything went smoothly. Her professionalism and friendly approach truly made a difference. Highly recommend this agency to anyone planning a trip—great service, excellent coordination, and truly memorable experience!
Your right to Know!
A Pune to Andaman tour works best by air, since the ship, road, and rail options do not apply from this city at all. Connecting through Delhi, Bangalore, or Chennai on a single ticket is usually the smoothest way to make the journey.
Booking Pune to Andaman flights six to eight weeks ahead of travel generally secures the better fares, since prices rise sharply closer to Diwali, Christmas, and the April-May school holidays. Weekday departures also tend to cost less than weekend ones in the connecting sector.
An Andaman trip from Pune usually takes between seven and fifteen hours in total, depending on how well the connecting flight through Delhi, Bangalore, or Chennai lines up with your Pune departure. It is worth comparing all three routes rather than assuming one hub will always be faster.
Indian citizens require only a valid government photo ID like Aadhaar card, passport or driving license for flight and hotel check-in in the Andaman Islands which is a part of India. Indian travellers do not need a special permit, but foreign nationals have to arrange for a separate Restricted Area Permit.
Yes, both are part of the standard WanderOn itinerary from Pune. Havelock and Neil Island, now officially known as Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep, sit a short ferry ride from Port Blair, with Havelock better known for Radhanagar Beach and Neil Island offering a slower, less crowded stop on the same trip.
