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. Pant Road in Aberdeen, central Port Blair, about 2 km from the city bus stand and roughly 15 km (35–45 minutes) from Veer Savarkar International Airport, reachable by auto-rickshaw, taxi or local bus.

Set aside about 2–3 hours for a full visit: 60–90 minutes for the museum, galleries and the central tower during the day, then the evening Light & Sound Show. The show is held in the open-air amphitheatre built around the original jail courtyard, with the narration projected onto the cell blocks: carry a light layer for the evening and a water bottle, as seating is uncovered.

    Mr Jhashobhit

    Kolkata

    Mr's 5 days trip to Andaman

    ​Overall Experience: While the itinerary ultimately covered all the promised destinations, the first few days of the trip were highly stressful due to poor breakfast service, below-average accommodations, transportation discrepancies, and lack of support from both the booking partner and local agent
    s. ​1. Breakfast Service (First 2 Days) ​Day 1: My flight timings changed, and I requested an early breakfast, which was denied. While I understood the policy, it set a disappointing tone. ​Day 2: We had an early morning checkout to travel to Havelock Island. We were provided a packed breakfast consisting only of low-quality bread, butter, jam, and a packed mango juice. This was highly unsatisfactory. ​2. Havelock Island Accommodations & Itinerary Delays ​Resort Quality: The resort provided on Havelock Island was extremely poor. The rooms felt like below-average huts, resulting in a terrible experience. ​Service Delay: It took almost an hour of arguing to get our room changed. ​Lack of Local Agent Support: Because of the room change, our itinerary ran late. The local agent asked why we were running late and insensitively suggested we should have gone on the tour first and changed rooms later. It is unreasonable to expect guests to go out without freshening up first. ​3. Transport Issues ​Havelock Island: We were initially given an Alto to travel to Radhanagar Beach, which did not match what was promised during booking. After confronting the agent, they upgraded us to a Scorpio for the return journey to the resort. ​Neil Island: The driver on Neil Island was incredibly rushed, constantly forcing us to hurry through our sightseeing because he had another group of guests waiting for his next trip. ​4. Discounts and Financial Discrepancies ​We were promised a 40% discount on water sports activities, but this was not honored. We were forced to pay the full price/whatever rate was quoted on-site, with zero assistance from your team. ​5. Booking Partner & Coordinator Support ​The resort provided on Neil Island was very good, and the final legs of the trip went smoothly. However, the travel partner we booked through provided almost no assistance during the trip. It felt like we had to figure everything out on our own, and we were left entirely at the mercy of the local agent. ​Conclusion ​The lack of coordination, poor initial accommodations, and unhelpful local support made the first few days of our vacation incredibly uneasy and stressful. I expect a formal response regarding the unhonored discounts and the standard of service provided

    Gaurav's 6 days trip to Andaman

    I recently booked a trip to the Andaman Islands through Island Retreat Holidays, and it was an absolutely seamless and memorable experience. From start to finish, the coordination was top-notch. A huge shout-out to Ms. Shivani for her exceptional planning. She managed every detail of our itinerary—
    from the ferry bookings to the hotel stays and cab transfers—making the entire trip wonderful and stress-free. The ground support was equally impressive. I’d like to give a special mention to our driver in Port Blair, Mr. Akhter, who was incredibly helpful and accommodating with all our requests. We also appreciated the assistance of Mr. Raju, who helped us plan our activities at Elephant Beach, and Mr. Chand for his support at Neil Island. The professionalism and hospitality shown by the entire team were outstanding. I highly recommend booking with Island Retreat Holidays to anyone planning a trip to the Andamans, and I will definitely be recommending them to all my friends!

    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.
