About Ross Island in Andaman

Ross Island is a part of the Andaman archipelago under the South Andaman district. Named after its surveyor Sir Daniel Ross, the island is 1.25 kilometers in length and 0.5 km in width. Dotted with palm and coconut trees, Ross Island in Andaman was the capital of the archipelago during the British Raj era from 1858 to 1941. Today it lies deserted and retains a few structures displaying its colonial glory.

History of Ross Island 

The British left the island after an earthquake and build a new settlement at Port Blair. Due to the lack of human activity on the island, banyan trees covered the buildings. The Indian Navy has rebuilt some old buildings like a bakery and a few local stores from where visitors can buy souvenirs. Visitors can also enjoy a Ross Island Memorial documentary which is shown inside the Bakery. The timings are from 9.30 am to 9.45 am and 11.30 am to 11.45 am.

It now lies deserted and the few examples of its colonial glory like the Presbyterian Church and residential quarters are worth checking out. Most of these structures are overtaken now by wild Ficus plants. Spotted Deer and peacocks roam freely on the island.

    Jaipur

    Naman's 6 days trip to Andaman

    Overall experience is great. The service they have provided is also very good. You can directly communicate with them at any time and they will try to resolve the queries instantly. The only thing I don't like is you have to wait at reception after checkout because the ferry time was not correct acc
    ording to the checkout timing. And sometimes the cab they send is not in good condition.

    The trip was managed well for all location. Chirag sharma ji and shipra ji from jaipur was managed whole trip with local operator binith ji, Sweety ji, ratin ji and sanjay ji. All hotels was good for stay only, food was very bad. In andaman tour taxi only for pick and drop service but not include fo

    Gaurav's 8 days trip to Andaman

    Hotels were not up to the mark and the services were quite pathetic. Also the local agent was not that good. Services from travel agent need extreme amount of improvement and needs to know the exact requirement of the customer. I was in touch with the agent from past 6 months to identify the best
    hotels under the defined budget but still there was a huge lack and I had to change the hotel during the end of my travel. Food was awesome and locations covered were extremely beautiful.
