Little Andaman in September
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Little Andaman in September is the slow tail of monsoon and the southernmost legal Andaman is mostly still inaccessible. Rainfall drops to 290-340mm, mostly in the first half. The directorate of shipping ferry from Phoenix Bay restarts 2 weekly sailings from the third week. Surf at Butler Bay is still storm-sized and irregular - not yet rideable. White Surf Waterfall trail is partly cleared by Forest Department; Whisper Wave is not certified open until late October. Of the 5 Hut Bay guesthouses, 2 reopen mid-month; the rest wait for November. Onge Tribal Reserve permit applications restart from September 20. Mobile network unchanged: BSNL only, often intermittent.
