Getting Around in Little Andaman
This island is best explored on a motorbike or a scooter. Renting a ride is easy as almost all guesthouses and resorts can arrange a two-wheeler for you. Rental shops are also scattered all around the market area. Prices per day vary from Rs 300 to 400 depending on the season and duration of rent. Check the bike, especially the breaks before you accept it. Most of the bikes are far from perfect condition.
Do make sure you refill the gas before 5 pm as all the petrol shops close afterward. Sometimes gas suppliers run out of petrol and the price of gas increases.
If you prefer public transport, Small local busses ply around the island. They charge anywhere between Rs 7 to Rs 15. Ask the locals for the schedule. All you have to do is wave to the driver and they will stop to pick you up and drop you on the way. Auto rickshaws and public jeeps are also broadly available and they’ll cost you from Rs 10 to Rs 50. If they pick you at the jetty you’ll have to pay Rs 100 per person for a jeep ride to your resort.
