Question 1

What is the price of an Umrah package from Port Blair?

Accepted Answer

Umrah packages from Port Blair start from approximately ₹1,05,000 per person for economy options — higher than mainland India packages due to the additional domestic flight leg from the islands to the mainland (Kolkata or Chennai). All packages include: return flights from Port Blair to Kolkata or Chennai, international Jeddah flights from the mainland gateway, accommodation during mainland stopover if required, Saudi Umrah visa, Makkah and Madinah hotels, and all Saudi transfers. Premium 5-star packages start from ₹2,80,000. We understand the additional logistical burden on island pilgrims and work to keep pricing as reasonable as possible.

Question 2

How do Port Blair pilgrims reach Jeddah for Umrah?

Accepted Answer

Port Blair pilgrims must fly to mainland India first — either Kolkata (CCU, ~2 hours) or Chennai (MAA, ~2 hours 15 minutes) — and then board an international flight to Jeddah. Kolkata–Jeddah direct flights are operated by Air India and IndiGo (~6h 30m). Chennai–Jeddah direct flights are operated by Air India, IndiGo, and Saudi Arabian Airlines (~5h). Our packages typically include a planned overnight stay in Kolkata or Chennai with hotel accommodation — this is actually recommended to ensure pilgrims are well-rested before the international leg. Same-day connections are possible but require careful flight timing, and we coordinate both options based on pilgrim preference.

Question 3

How far in advance should Port Blair pilgrims book their Umrah package?

Accepted Answer

Port Blair pilgrims should book their Umrah packages significantly further in advance than mainland pilgrims — we recommend at least 3–4 months for off-peak travel and 5–6 months for Ramadan Umrah. This is because flights from Port Blair to the mainland can fill up quickly, especially during school holidays when island residents travel. Coordinating two flight stages, a possible hotel night on the mainland, and international booking simultaneously requires more lead time. Island pilgrims who leave booking too late face the risk of unavailable Port Blair flights even when mainland Jeddah seats are available.

Question 4

Is there a Muslim community group in Port Blair that coordinates Umrah travel together?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Port Blair's Muslim community, though relatively small in the context of a population of around 150,000 in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, has a close-knit mosque network and community organisations that typically coordinate Umrah travel as a group. The Jama Masjid community and other mosque committees often organise annual group Umrah journeys. We have experience working with Port Blair community groups and can offer customised group packages that accommodate the specific logistics of island departure — including block-booking the Port Blair–Kolkata or Port Blair–Chennai domestic legs, mainland accommodation, and the full Jeddah package under a single coordinated booking.

Question 5

What is the best time for Umrah from Port Blair?

Accepted Answer

November to February is the best Umrah window for Port Blair pilgrims — the Andaman Islands experience a relatively dry period, making travel to the airport comfortable, and Makkah temperatures are mild. The Andaman monsoon (May–November, with peak in June–September) brings heavy rain and rougher flight conditions, though flights still operate reliably. Ramadan Umrah (typically March–April) is the most spiritually desired and must be booked 5–6 months in advance from Port Blair. Because island pilgrims have additional travel complexity, we strongly advise off-peak booking for first-time Umrah pilgrims from the Andamans — it allows more comfortable, less rushed travel logistics.
