Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep) in September
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Monsoon seas make boat access unreliable this month
September at Ross Island is the slow climb out of monsoon. Rainfall drops to 240-290mm, mostly in the first half. Aberdeen Jetty operators bring boats back on a six-day timetable from around September 15 with a cancellation rate of 25-30 percent on running days. The open-air light-and-sound show typically reopens between September 25 and 28 once Forest Department electrical staff have certified the rigs after the monsoon. The ruins themselves are still wet underfoot, lawns flooded in stretches, deer keeping to canopy. Hotel rates back in Port Blair are at year-low. The trip works on the back end of the month for travelers with rigid dates; everyone else should wait for October.
Why September scores 4.0/10
