Transportation

Connectivity to and within Andrott is constrained by its remote island geography.

* **Sea Connectivity:** Passenger ships operated by the Lakshadweep administration connect Andrott to Kochi (mainland) and other islands. The journey from Kochi takes about 12 to 15 hours. * **Air Connectivity:** There is no fixed-wing airport on Andrott. Helicopter services (Pawan Hans) are available primarily for medical emergencies, inter-island transit, and VIP transport, operating out of a local helipad. * **Local Roads:** The island has a network of narrow, paved (often concrete) roads that crisscross the coconut groves. * **Local Transit:** Bicycles, motorized two-wheelers (scooters/motorcycles), and auto-rickshaws are the primary modes of transport. Walking is also highly common given the short distances. * **Ports:** A breakwater and passenger jetty facilitate the docking of small vessels and ferries.
