Ross Island

Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island) is Port Blair's most atmospheric heritage destination — a tiny jungle-reclaimed island that served as the British administrative capital of the Andamans. Its colonial ruins — ballroom, bakery, church, tennis courts — are now draped in enormous banyan roots, with deer and peacocks roaming freely. A top Andaman sightseeing and photography landmark. Accessible by ferry from Port Blair jetty in 15 minutes; entry fee applies.
