Which is more affordable, Andaman or Goa?


Heading for a beach vacation in India? With their pristine shores and turquoise waters, both Goa and the Andaman Islands beckon, but the question on many budget-conscious travelers’ lips is this: Which destination is easier on the wallet? The answer is nuanced, as it is with most things, but let’s take a crack at the key costs involved.

Goa : The Reluctant Budget Champion

Goa has been the symbol of affordable travel in India for many years now. Its well-established tourism infrastructure also means that all kinds of options are available, and for every budget. Accommodation options range from basic backpacker hostels and guesthouses to mid-range hotels and luxury resorts. There are many choices, which are driving prices down.

Food : Vegan Goan Tiffin & Cheap Eats Food in Goa, especially local Goan cuisine, is super cheap. Transportation with rental scooters and buses is also, for the most part,budget-friendly. If a sociable, vibrant atmosphere with plenty of budget-friendly options is more your thing, Goa usually comes out on top.

Andaman : The Island Adventure, in a premium

So while the natural beauty levels are high here, the cost of living is quite higher than Goa. The primary reason? Its remote location. The Andaman itself comes at a price, needing a flight or a long sea journey to reach, and the travel burden only adds to the overall cost. Accommodation is generally pricier and more limited in the budget department — especially on popular islands like Havelock. Dining can be less varied as well as ribs, which raises prices, and although local food could be priced reasonably. Transportation, particularly via auto-rickshaw or hired car, can further drive up costs. The activities, such as scuba diving, are also generally a little more pricey in the Andaman Islands.

The Verdict: It All Comes Down to Your Priorities

Both Andaman and Goa make for a budget-friendly vacation. But overall Goa is much more budget-friendly destination than Andaman. There’s more in the way of inexpensive accommodation, food and transportation. The Andaman Islands are a little pricier but will provide a once-in-a-lifetime beautiful, relaxing break away to pristine natural beauty not seen in many coastal parts of India.

Basically, if a cheap beach holiday with an energetic crowd is what you’re after, Goa would be a good match. But if you can shell out a few extra bucks for unspoiled beauty, uncrowded beaches, and an adventure-filled getaway, try the Andaman Islands. Researching particular places within each destination and being flexible with your travel dates will ultimately go a long way in extending your rupee, whether you decide on the vibrant shores of Goa or the serene islands of the Andaman.
