Day-wise Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive Port Blair: Airport Transfer + Visit to Cellular Jail + 1943 Flag Point + Ross Island + Light and Sound Show. 

Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Check into the hotel and relax.

Port Blair, on South Andaman Island, is the capital city of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, an Indian territory in the Bay of Bengal. Its seafront Cellular Jail, completed in 1906, hints at its past as a British penal colony and is now a memorial to Indian independence activists. Inland, the Samudrika Marine Museum showcases local marine life. The Anthropological Museum focuses on the islands’ indigenous tribes.

After your lunch, you will be picked up for a visit to the national memorial, Cellular Jail, and 1943 Flag Point, which is one of the best places for photography in Port Blair. Later, you will be transferred to Ross Island.

Ross Island (a short boat ride away) was the capital of Andaman during the British regime. The island presently houses the ruins of old buildings like the Chief Commissioner’s House, Government House, Church, Bakery, Press, Swimming Pool, Cemetery, etc., all in dilapidated condition. A very good place to explore and inhale the beauty. Have some good times with the deer and peacock, which are so human-friendly.

While returning from Ross Island, you can enjoy a light and sound show at Cellular Jail. Overnight stay at the hotel
