Ross Island

Ross Island, now officially known as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island, is a small but historically rich island located near Port Blair. During the British colonial period, this island served as the administrative headquarters of the Andaman Islands. Today, visitors can explore the fascinating ruins of old British buildings, including churches, offices, and residential quarters that are slowly being reclaimed by nature. Large tree roots have grown over the old structures, creating a unique and beautiful scene. The island is also home to friendly deer and peacocks that often roam freely around the area. Visitors usually reach Ross Island by a short boat ride from Port Blair. Walking through the quiet pathways and historic ruins gives travelers a glimpse into the island’s colonial past while enjoying scenic sea views and peaceful surroundings.
