Question 1

How do Andaman & Nicobar Islands pilgrims travel for Umrah?

Accepted Answer

Pilgrims depart from Veer Savarkar International Airport Port Blair (IXZ) to Chennai (MAA) or Kolkata (CCU) by air — flights are approximately 2 hours. From Chennai or Kolkata, connecting flights to Jeddah are available via Air India, IndiGo, and Gulf carriers. Total journey time from Port Blair to Jeddah is typically 12–15 hours including layovers. We plan the full itinerary to ensure smooth connections for island pilgrims.

Question 2

What is the cost of an Umrah package from the Andaman & Nicobar Islands?

Accepted Answer

Economy Umrah packages from Port Blair (IXZ) start from approximately ₹95,000 per person, covering domestic flights to the mainland hub, Saudi visa, return international flights, Makkah and Madinah hotel accommodation, and all transfers. The additional domestic segment from the islands adds cost compared to mainland departures. Premium 5-star packages near Masjid al-Haram start from ₹1,90,000 per person.

Question 3

Is it difficult to organise Umrah from Port Blair given the remote location?

Accepted Answer

Port Blair's remoteness requires careful advance planning but the journey is entirely manageable with our support. The key considerations are: booking domestic Port Blair to Chennai or Kolkata flights well in advance (they can fill up, especially in peak season), ensuring adequate connection time at the mainland hub, and planning for potential weather delays during the Bay of Bengal monsoon season (June–September). We handle all these logistics for Andaman pilgrims.

Question 4

Can pilgrims from North Andaman and other island settlements book Umrah?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve pilgrims from across the Andaman & Nicobar Islands including North Andaman, Middle Andaman, South Andaman, Little Andaman, and accessible Nicobar settlements. Pilgrims from outer islands must first reach Port Blair by ferry before their flight connection — we advise on ferry schedules and Port Blair accommodation for the pre-departure night. All logistics from your home island to the holy cities are coordinated by us.

Question 5

What is the best time for Umrah from the Andaman & Nicobar Islands?

Accepted Answer

November through February is the ideal period for Andaman pilgrims for two reasons: Saudi temperatures are at their most comfortable, and the Bay of Bengal weather is at its calmest — reducing the risk of flight disruptions due to weather. The monsoon period from June to September is best avoided for Umrah travel as flight delays and cancellations from Port Blair are more common. Ramadan Umrah packages should be booked 4–5 months in advance, particularly as Port Blair flights to Chennai and Kolkata can be very limited during peak periods.
