ross island

The entire island is one of its best kind. The animals and birds are so human friendly that kids enjoy their company to the core. Probably this is the USP of this island. Infact we have never come across the deers in such a close contact...the best part was we saw dancing peacocks which is a lifetime experience..sitting on the pond side was absolutely charming on the island which was the source of fresh water..The only beach at the rear side of the island, though visitors not allowed to get down..was absolutely mesmerising. The water so clean and blue...I can't express my elation through words spending time there.The island still show cases the royalty which Britishers enjoyed keeping it capital of Andamans, they produced one of the dream islands of their age...Overall it had been one of the best attractions of the local sites in Port Blair.

Well maintained by the Indian navy. The past glory can only be imagined, magnificent place. Wish there were good eating joints.

100Rs for the government ferry, 30 for entrance when you're there, and another small fee depending on if you have a still/video camera. It doesn't look much from the jetty but it's a get at island to explore. Lots of signs for learning along the way, and the trees that have taken over the buildings are incredible. Some trees you can tell a building use to be there for the fact the roots have created door holes and windows although bricks are no longer there. You're free to explore yourself or get a guide. Unfortunately my boat left 15 minutes late so I didn't have all the time to explore when I was there but I saw most of it. There are wild deer, peacocks and bunnies everywhere too! Well worth a visit and only a few hours of your day, I do suggest taking bottles of after with you though. Some parts are very hilly and in the sun it can be quite draining.

"Paris of the East" as it was called during the British rule, this island gives you the feel as to how posh the top British officers used to stay in India. We were about to skip this attraction due to lack of time, but luckily we made time and visited this island. No one should miss visiting this island. By the way, this island took a big tsunami wave onto itself & saved a massive devastation from taking place in Port Blair. An heroic island indeed.

Ross Island is ideally a two part trip, the morning to evening portion includes going around the island looking at the ruins from the era of the British and Japanese rule. the late evening portion includes a spectacular sound, light & video show (yes you read it correctly!!) which has been created specially for Ross island by Revathi (the actress)

The time the boat guys give to roam here is not sufficient to go around this island unless you're jogging from the word go...should spend atleast 3-4 hrs to go around the entire island.

This is another wonderful place ! We took the evening ship which takes you to the island and includes the light and sound show! It is actually more than a light and sound show and a must visit! If you miss it you will really miss something so make sure you go for it!

The best island to sit back and relax. Deers, peacocks, rabbits were few animals seen roaming around. The island is small and has lot of old buildings to see like church, hospital, japanese bunkers etc. Entry fee is Rs. 30 and if you want to take camera then shell out another 30 bucks. The beach has very beautiful view and you will have some of the best pictures clicked at this location.

It was a memorable experience to see all remains of the capital of British Era. It was very good learning to listen to the guide telling history of the remains at this dilapidated township. Its closeness to the nature and the animals like deer,peacock,variety of birds with all urban facilitiesmust be a enjoyable staying those days.

This is a small island like many others in Andaman - but has some very unique features. Maintained by the navy, it is clean and has well-defined processes. You will use the same boat from and to Port Blair. They will give you 2-3 hours on the island to explore and relax. There are deer, rabbits and peacock that roam around freely on the island and seeing these creatures (esp. the deer) at such proximity is amazing. They are docile and will give you a wonderful photo op. PLEASE respect & follow the rules set by authorities - don't touch, feed or scare these creatures. Besides this, the island has old abandoned houses from the British era that have been covered by growing trees and creepers. It looks haunting and beautiful at the same time. This island took the brunt during the Tsunami and the navy has done a wonderful job of restoring it. There is a govt.-run canteen with nominally priced meals. If you are tired and can't walk around the island anymore - just sit and enjoy the relaxing view of the blue sea around you. Warning - the water leading from Port Blair to Ross Island is a little choppy - so be careful if you get sea sick easily.

There are some dilapidated ruins of British raj scattered over the island.There was nothing much to excite me and Its better if one spend more time in havelock than exploring Ross Island. The island also has some deers, peacocks and rabbits.There is not much history left on the island.

very nice place, just a round on the concrete walkway gives u the glimpse of the glory of the british era, dont miss the lonely sailor at the tip, the walk is exhausting to the body but refreshes ur mind
