Just 10\u201315 minutes by boat from the city, the island was once the <strong>British administrative capital<\/strong> of the Andamans (1858\u20131941). A major earthquake and the Japanese occupation during World War II abruptly ended that chapter, leaving behind haunting ruins now draped in roots and sea breeze. Today you can walk an easy circuit of the island, spot deer and peacocks, climb to viewpoints, and trace the layers of history\u2014from Victorian churches to Japanese bunkers\u2014on a compact, car-free island.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What makes it special<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>History in the wild:<\/strong> Nature has reclaimed barracks, a ballroom, a printing press, a bakery, and the Chief Commissioner\u2019s House\u2014Instagram gold <em>and<\/em> a vivid lesson in impermanence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quick, easy escape:<\/strong> Boats leave from Port Blair\u2019s waterfront; you can do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/andaman-nicobar-tours\/ross-island.html\">Ross Island<\/a> plus North Bay Island or Cellular Jail in a single day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Family-friendly walking:<\/strong> Mostly flat paths with shade, benches, and signboards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Views for days:<\/strong> The island faces Aberdeen jetty and the blue expanse of Marine National Park waters, perfect for photos at golden hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>At a glance<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> 2 km east of Port Blair, South Andaman<\/li>\n<li><strong>Access:<\/strong> Public boat\/ferry from the Water Sports Complex\/Aberdeen Jetty (tickets sold on the spot via counters\/operators)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time needed:<\/strong> 2\u20133 hours for a full circuit; 4\u20135 hours if combining with North Bay Island<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best for:<\/strong> History lovers, photographers, families, couples, solo travelers<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stays:<\/strong> <strong>No accommodation on Ross Island<\/strong>; sleep in Port Blair and visit by boat<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other name:<\/strong> Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Dweep (use both names when asking locals or checking signboards)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-reach-ross-island\"><\/span>How to reach Ross Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Base:<\/strong> Port Blair, capital of the Andaman &amp; Nicobar Islands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By air to Port Blair:<\/strong> Fly to <strong>Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ)<\/strong> from major Indian cities like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/chennai-tours\/\">Chennai<\/a>, Kolkata, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/bangalore-tours\/\">Bengaluru<\/a>, Hyderabad, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/delhi-tours\/\">Delhi<\/a> (nonstops vary by season).

Today, dramatic root systems and shattered walls create photogenic frames. Stand along the viewpoints near the residence to see Port Blair\u2019s cityscape across the water.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-the-church-ruins\"><\/span>2) The Church Ruins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Possibly the island\u2019s most iconic sight: <strong>arched Gothic windows<\/strong> wrapped by banyan and ficus roots. Dappled sunlight through leaf canopies turns the stonework and creepers into a living cathedral. Go slow here\u2014details are everywhere, from carved lintels to patterned bricks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-the-bakery-printing-press\"><\/span>3) The Bakery &amp; Printing Press<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ross Island once baked fresh bread and printed notices for the entire settlement.

Mentally layer in the past: doctors, nurses, a dispensary, and evening dances at the <strong>ballroom<\/strong> for the British elite. These remnants are a reminder of the parallel realities that existed here while convicts labored in the wider penal colony.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-cemetery-water-reservoirs\"><\/span>5) Cemetery &amp; Water Reservoirs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Quiet and sobering, the <strong>cemetery<\/strong> evokes the harshness of island life in the 19th century: tropical disease, cyclones, isolation. Nearby <strong>reservoirs<\/strong> and storage tanks reveal the engineering that supported the settlement.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-lighthouse-viewpoint\"><\/span>6) Lighthouse Viewpoint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Toward the northern end is a small <strong>lighthouse<\/strong> area and seaside viewpoint. Watch boats trace white wakes across impossibly blue water; on clear days, the horizon is postcard-perfect. Morning light from here is especially flattering for wide shots.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-japanese-bunkers-defensive-positions\"><\/span>7) Japanese Bunkers &amp; Defensive Positions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>World War II shifted the island\u2019s purpose. <strong>Japanese bunkers, pillboxes, and trenches<\/strong> remain scattered along the shoreline. These concrete structures are photogenic in their own way and add a striking, lesser-known layer to Ross Island\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-the-forest-canopy-animal-encounters\"><\/span>8) The Forest Canopy &amp; Animal Encounters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The island\u2019s star performers are <strong>banyans, ficus, and tropical hardwoods<\/strong>, whose aerial roots and buttressed trunks weave in and around brickwork. You\u2019ll likely see <strong>spotted deer, peacocks, and monkeys<\/strong>.
