Little Andaman in October
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Monsoon rains still frequent, making water activities risky and unpredictable
Little Andaman in October is the slow re-open. Rainfall drops to 150-200mm, mostly in the first ten days. The directorate of shipping ferry from Phoenix Bay returns to 3 weekly sailings through the month. Surf at Butler Bay cleans up through October - 2-2.5 metre swell at first, dropping to a more rideable 1.5-2 metres in the last week. White Surf Waterfall trail is open by October 10; Whisper Wave gets its Forest Department clearance between October 22 and 28. The 5 Hut Bay guesthouses are mostly back open by October 25. The Onge Tribal Reserve permit office processes applications normally. The last 5 days of October work; the first 3 weeks do not.
