Neil to Havelock vs Havelock to Neil: Which Itinerary Is Better?
Most Andaman itineraries are designed around actual ferry availability, hotel dates and flight timings rather than a fixed rule.
Before choosing Neil → Havelock, check ferry availability on your travel date, hotel availability on both islands, Port Blair arrival/departure dates, and the final ferry connection back to Port Blair.
If both directions are available, choose the sequence that gives the cleanest connections and best use of your sightseeing days.
