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 and Sound Show is a separate ₹300 (adult) and ₹150 (child).

How much is the Cellular Jail Light and Sound Show ticket?

The Light and Sound Show costs ₹300 per adult and ₹150 per child in 2026. The roughly 45-minute show runs in the open-air amphitheatre and narrates the jail’s freedom-struggle history. Buy tickets at the on-site counter and arrive early on peak-season evenings.

What are the Light and 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 select evenings. The daytime museum closes at 4:45 PM, and the show follows separately after dark.

Is the Light and Sound Show open on Mondays if the museum is closed?

The daytime museum stays closed on Mondays, but the evening Light and Sound Show is a separate ticketed event and can still run that evening. The English show is commonly listed for Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Since the schedule shifts seasonally, confirm the day at the counter before you plan a Monday show.

What languages is the Cellular Jail show available in?

The Light and Sound Show runs in both Hindi and English. Hindi shows play on most evenings, while the English show is scheduled for select days, commonly Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Check the current schedule at the counter if you specifically want the English narration.

How long does the Cellular Jail Light and Sound Show last?

The Light and Sound Show lasts about 45 minutes. It is held in the open-air amphitheatre built around the jail courtyard, so plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes early for seating in peak season and carry a light layer for the evening.

Is Cellular Jail closed on Mondays and national holidays?

Yes. The Cellular Jail museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:30 to 4:45 PM, and stays closed on Mondays and national holidays. Plan a daytime visit for any day except Monday, and check the evening show schedule separately.

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 and paid once at the counter. Professional film shooting needs prior permission and a higher fee of around ₹10,000.

Is photography allowed during the Light and Sound Show?

Personal still photography from your seat is generally fine, but tripods, flash and professional video are restricted during the performance so they do not disturb other viewers or the projection. The ₹200 still-camera and ₹1,000 video fees apply to the daytime museum, not to the evening show itself.

Do foreigners pay more to enter Cellular Jail?

Foreign nationals pay ₹100 entry versus ₹30 for Indians at Cellular Jail. Camera, video and Light and Sound Show charges are the same for everyone. Foreign visitors no longer need a separate permit for Port Blair.

Can I book Cellular Jail and the show tickets online?

Tickets are mainly sold at the on-site counter, so there is no full online booking for the memorial or the show. Some tour operators offer Light and Sound Show seats in advance as part of a package, which is the closest option to booking ahead.

How much time do I need to visit Cellular Jail?

Set aside about 2 to 3 hours: roughly 60 to 90 minutes for the museum, galleries and central tower during the day, plus the 45-minute evening Light and Sound Show. Add buffer time to reach the amphitheatre early for a good seat.

Cellular Jail entry costs Rs 30 per person for Indians and Rs 100 for foreign nationals, and children under 5 go in free. The evening Light and Sound Show is priced separately at Rs 300 for adults and Rs 150 for children. The memorial opens Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:30 to 4:45 PM, and stays shut on Mondays. This page keeps every current fee, the show schedule and the on-site booking details in one place, so you can plan both the daytime visit and the evening show before you reach the counter in Aberdeen, Port Blair.

Cellular Jail Entry Fee 2026

Entry to the memorial is Rs 30 for Indian visitors and Rs 100 for foreign nationals. Cameras are charged on top of the ticket, and children under 5 pay nothing. Here is the full 2026 fee ladder, including the camera and film-shooting charges that most guides leave out.

Foreign national	Rs 100
Child 5 to 12 years	Rs 20

Still camera	Rs 200
Video camera	Rs 1,000
Film shooting (with permission)	Rs 10,000

Foreign nationals no longer need a separate Restricted Area Permit for Port Blair, so entry at the counter is the same quick process for everyone. The camera fee is per device, not per person, and you pay it once at the ticket window.

Cellular Jail Light and Sound Show: Ticket Price & Timings 2026

The Cellular Jail light and sound show ticket price is Rs 300 for adults and Rs 150 for children in 2026. The roughly 45-minute show runs after dark in the open-air amphitheatre inside the jail, retelling the freedom-struggle history through narration and lighting. Tickets are sold at the on-site counter, and evening seats fill up in peak season, so arrive 20 to 30 minutes early.

Item Detail (2026) Adult ticket Rs 300 Child ticket Rs 150 Duration ~45 minutes Hindi show timings 5:50 / 6:50 / 7:50 / 8:50 PM (season-dependent) English show timings 6:50 PM on select evenings (see note below) Venue Open-air amphitheatre, Cellular Jail Booking Ticket counter on site; book ahead in peak season

A quick note on days: the daytime museum is closed on Mondays, but the evening Light and Sound Show is a separate ticketed event held after the memorial’s daytime hours. The Hindi show runs most evenings; the English show is scheduled for select evenings (commonly Monday, Wednesday and Friday). Because the English schedule shifts with the season, confirm the exact day at the ticket counter or with your operator when you plan an English-language show.

How to Book Cellular Jail & Light and Sound Show Tickets

There is no full online ticketing system for the memorial or the show, so most visitors buy at the gate. Here is how booking actually works on the ground.

• At the counter: Buy both the daytime entry ticket and the Light and Sound Show ticket at the on-site counter on G.B. Pant Road. Cash is safest; card acceptance can be patchy.

• For the evening show: Show tickets go on sale the same day and sell out on busy December-to-February evenings. Reach the amphitheatre 20 to 30 minutes ahead to get a decent seat, since seating is open and uncovered.

• Book ahead through a package: Some operators bundle Light and Sound Show seats into their Port Blair itineraries, which is the closest thing to an advance booking. If you are travelling on an Andaman tour package, ask your agent to pre-arrange the show so you skip the counter queue.

• Combine your visit: If you want the museum and the show on the same day, buy the entry ticket for the day and pick up the show ticket while you are inside, rather than making two counter trips.

Timings, Closed Days & How to Reach

Cellular Jail is open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:30 to 4:45 PM, and is closed on Mondays and national holidays. The evening Light and Sound Show follows separately, after the daytime galleries shut. For a fuller schedule breakdown, see the Cellular Jail timings page.

The jail sits on G.B. Pant Road in Aberdeen, central Port Blair, about 2 km from the city bus stand and roughly 15 km (35 to 45 minutes) from Veer Savarkar International Airport. Autos and taxis run there through the day. Step-by-step routes are on the how to reach Cellular Jail guide.

What to Expect & Who Should Visit

Set aside about 2 to 3 hours for a full visit: 60 to 90 minutes for the museum, galleries and the central tower during the day, then the 45-minute Light and Sound Show in the evening. The show seating is uncovered, so carry a light layer for after sunset and a water bottle. History-minded travellers, families and school groups get the most out of it, and it pairs naturally with the rest of Port Blair’s places to visit.

Fares and timings on this page are cross-checked by our Andaman desk against the A&N Administration’s official schedule and re-pinned at each update.

Plan Your Andaman Trip

Cellular Jail is the anchor of most Port Blair itineraries, and it slots easily around Havelock, Neil and the ferries. For the wider picture, browse the Andaman travel guide, or compare Andaman tour packages that already include the jail and its evening show.

Rajinder's 5 days trip to Andaman

Good experience, the cabs and the timings were on spot and always before the schedule too, with that we experienced all. However, the last 2 days felt little too elongated and unnecessary in the itenary, could be updated next time to avoid.

Dsarkar

Kolkata

Dsarkar's 4 days trip to Andaman

Rooms of the hotels allotted during the tour was very below standard and worse. As per the itinerary, 3-star hotel would be provided, whereas hotels allotted were below standard and condition of the rooms were very bad. No service Man, no intercom, below-standard toilets. unhygienic rooms., No TV c

onnection, but TV is there; AC remote not working. I will never recommend any tourist to travel through this agent, "Andaman Great Holidays". Nobody should plan with AGH.
