The ideal time to visit Havelock Island, also known as Swaraj Dweep, in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is from October to May. This period represents the islands' dry season, marked by clear skies, tranquil seas, and a comfortable climate ideal for enjoying the various outdoor activities the island offers. During these months, the temperature typically ranges between 15°C to 34°C, making it perfect for basking in the sun on one of the island's pristine beaches, exploring its vibrant coral reefs while snorkeling or scuba diving, or trekking through the lush green forests.
The peak tourist season is between December and February when the weather is most temperate and suitable for water sports and beach activities. It is also a great time for nature lovers to observe the exotic marine life without the hindrance of monsoon rains or high tides. For those interested in experiencing the island's culture and festivals, visiting during the Island Tourism Festival in January is recommended. This festival is a celebration of the local way of life and showcases the rich heritage and traditions of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. However, it's important to note that this is also the busiest time on the island and early booking of accommodations and activities is advised to ensure availability.
