About Cellular Jail in Andaman
First opened in 1906, Cellular Jail in Port Blair, Andaman is a great place to learn about the history of India and to pay tribute to the fearless freedom fighters. It served as solitary confinement for exiled political prisoners during the British colonial rule and now it’s a national independence memorial. Isolated from the Indian mainland, this jail in Port Blair was popularly known as Kala Pani. The complex houses a museum which chronicles the struggle of Indian freedom fighters.
History of Cellular Jail
Cellular Jail Kalapani was used by the Britishers as a prison since 1857 that is during the beginning of the Sepoy Mutiny. It took 10 years for the construction of the Cellular Jail. The jail is now open to public viewing as a National Memorial, and its museum gives one a glimpse of years of India’s struggle for freedom. Notable freedom fighters put up here included Batukeshwar Dutt, Babarao Savarkar, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Diwan Singh Kalepani, and Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi. The building had seven straight wings each leading up to a tower in the middle. The jail was turned into a National Memorial in 1969. Its museum displays several galleries on the ground floor and another wing dedicated to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on the first floor. Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital is also located within the jail complex.
Light and Sound Show at Cellular Jail
The Light and Sound Show at Cellular Jail is organized by the government authorities of Andaman to remind tourists about the struggle of freedom fighters. The whole history of the independence struggle is depicted in the form of acts and performances during this light and sound show which will leave you heart-wrecked. The show takes place all days of the week at 05:15 pm, 06:20 pm and 7:25 pm for a Hindi performance and at 8:30 pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends. English version of the show is performed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 08:30 pm only.

Trip to Andaman
Ritz Hotel service and rooms are not good and first day breakfast also not provided by them.. otherwise all things are definitely very good.. Makrozz ship... Service, coral beachTrip to Andaman
The hotels were nice, could have been better if the resort in havelock and niel island were given wi fi i. Rooms as there was an issue with phone network,at least people will be in touch with there home, rest all was fine except some housekeeping minor issue.Trip to Andaman
Visited in Month of October 2019. Trip is really memorable. Thanks to travel triangle for arranging one. Trip was well organised and taxi, hotel bookings were as per commitment. pick up drop service, sight seeing was well organised. Drivers were present by the time we land at airport or by ferry. They covered Port Blair sight seeing such as beach, cellular jail , light and sound show. Havelock & Neil island sight seeing. They arranged for water sports (need to pay extra as not covered in package ) such as scuba etc. Most of the time in trip we dont have network coverage for our mobile but still it was tension free. Place is so beautiful that you wont bother and perfect place to recharge yourself with nature. Beach and places are clean, less polluted & populated so once can enjoy to fullest. One suggestion to travel triangle, itinerary they provide does not include exact time lines like how much time they are planning at sight seeing spots and sequence of sight seeings. instead of getting this information on the respective day from cab drivers if they can finalize it in advance It will help better to visitors.Trip to Andaman
