Cellular Jail Timings, Closed Days & How to Reach
Cellular Jail is open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM–12:30 PM and 1:30–4:45 PM, and is closed on Mondays. The Light & Sound Show runs separately in the evening (see the schedule above) and continues after the museum closes. The memorial sits on G.B.

FAQs of Andaman
What is the Cellular Jail ticket price in 2026?
Cellular Jail entry costs ₹30 per person for Indians and ₹100 for foreign nationals, with children under 5 entering free. A still-camera fee of ₹200 and a video-camera fee of ₹1,000 apply separately. The evening Light & Sound Show is a separate ₹300 (adult) / ₹150 (child).
How much is the Cellular Jail Light and Sound Show ticket?
The Light & Sound Show costs ₹300 per adult and ₹150 per child in 2026. The ~45-minute show runs in the open-air amphitheatre and narrates the jail's freedom-struggle history. Tickets are sold at the on-site counter, so book ahead in peak season, as the English slot fills first.
What are the Light & Sound Show timings at Cellular Jail?
Hindi shows run in the evening at roughly 5:50, 6:50, 7:50 and 8:50 PM (season-dependent), with an English show usually at 6:50 PM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Each show lasts about 45 minutes. Confirm the current schedule on arrival, as timings shift with the season.
What languages is the Cellular Jail show available in?
The Light & Sound Show runs in both Hindi and English. Hindi shows play on most evenings, while the English show is set for select days — often Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Both versions cover the same freedom-struggle story and last about 45 minutes.
How long does the Cellular Jail Light & Sound Show last?
The Light & Sound Show lasts about 45 minutes. It is held in the open-air amphitheatre built around the jail courtyard, so plan to arrive 20–30 minutes early for seating in peak season and carry a light layer for the evening.
Is Cellular Jail closed on Mondays?
Yes. The Cellular Jail museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM–12:30 PM and 1:30–4:45 PM, and stays closed on Mondays and national holidays. The evening Light & Sound Show runs separately — plan a Monday for the show or for other Port Blair sights instead.
How much are the camera and video charges at Cellular Jail?
A still camera costs ₹200 and a video camera ₹1,000, charged on top of the ₹30 entry fee. Professional film shooting requires prior permission and a higher fee (around ₹10,000). Mobile-phone photography is generally allowed without an extra charge.
Do foreigners pay more to enter Cellular Jail?
Foreign nationals pay ₹100 entry versus ₹30 for Indians at Cellular Jail. Camera, video and Light & Sound Show charges are the same for everyone. Foreigners no longer need a Restricted Area Permit for Port Blair but should carry a passport for entry and ticket counters.
Can I book Cellular Jail and the show tickets online?
Tickets are mainly sold at the on-site ticket counter, though some operators offer Light & Sound Show seats in advance through tour packages. In peak season (December–January) the show can sell out, so arrive early or book through a Port Blair sightseeing package to be safe.
How much time do I need to visit Cellular Jail?
Set aside about 2–3 hours — roughly 60–90 minutes for the museum, galleries and central tower during the day, plus the ~45-minute evening Light & Sound Show. Many visitors tour the museum in the afternoon and stay on for the show.
