Tourists can only visit the Andaman group of islands and not the Nicobar,as it is a restricted area.
You can reach there by ship or by Airplane.Ships are available every week from Kolkata,once in a month from Vishakapatnam,every week from Chennai.Airplanes available everyday from Kolkatta and Chennai..private operators also provide service.Once you must tarvel to the islands by the Ship.While returning you can take a plane.The ships are the cheapest.MV Nicobar,Swarajdeep, Nancowry are good ships compared to Harshavardhan & Akbar.
You can buy the Ship tickets from the Shipping Corporation Office at Strand Road Kolkatta,but confirm the dates for the issue of tickets before leaving.Another important thing is the Strikes called by the Unions-it is very common .I suffered it for ten days once,better take the Chennai route or by plane while going.Ships are not boring,it is the ultimate travel experience one can get in India.see some links at http://andamansikkim.blogspot.com/
