Winters in Lakshadweep Islands are between September and February. This is the best time for water sport activities, be it swimming, sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, parasailing and more. The weather is pleasant making it a nice time to soak in the sun. Don't forget to experience the Film Festival (November) or the 15-day Island Tourism Festival (January), if you are visiting the islands during that time.
Monsoons see heavy rainfall with high humidity. Visiting the beach and water sports are not advisable during this season. Annual festivals of the state like the Music Festival, Monsoon Festival (August) Food Festival (September) are good experiences during this time.
Summer in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands starts in April and goes on till July. The afternoons tend to be quite hot, early mornings and evenings are perfect for exploring.
