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.

Aayush's 6 days trip to Andaman

We recently returned from a wonderful Andaman trip, and we are so grateful to Reshma, Arif, and Meena for making it truly memorable! The entire experience was well-organized and perfectly customized to our preferences. From the moment we arrived, we had dedicated drivers and guides to support us at

every step. Reshma, Arief, and Meena were always available and assisted us throughout the journey, ensuring everything went smoothly. Thank you ANDAMAN ECSTASY Team for your constant support and for creating such a beautiful travel experience!

Sayan's 6 days trip to Andaman

Agent was very kind and cooperative till the service was booked. Her phone's network issue increased as soon as the full payment was made. However she was coordinating well through whatsapp messages. All the cab drivers were well behaved. No issues at all on that side. Cruise rides were fantasti

c. No complaints to make. We have really enjoyed the trip. Everything on this trip was perfect except for the hygiene maintained on the "Blue Waves Beach Resort" on Havelock Island. Though the resort has a private beach but it does not have good cleanliness. The bedsheets were not clean, lot of mosquitos, food services was very bad. Other than poori/paratha & veg curry there was nothing available. Toilets were full of lizards and cockroaches. TV's were not working. Other hotels were really amazing. Services were fantastic.

Very nice trip and enjoyed well. Last day was okay as there was nothing much to see in port Blair in carbin cove beach instead this could be covered first day and 5th day we could plan chidiya tapu. But over all a very nice experience and everything was planned well. Anitha ajmera coordinated very

well and she is very patient. A memorable trip thanks to travel triangle for organising and follow-ups. Best memories in Havlock and Neil beautiful place and photos have come out real good . Planned well

Malar's 5 days trip to Andaman

Day 2 was tightly packed with delayed check in time Rest of the trip were nice Green ocean Ferri ride, Havelock exotic beach resort

Sheeja M

Bengaluru

Sheeja's 7 days trip to Andaman

We were 4 girls and overall we had a great time. Good coordination among the team between different islands, and they made sure we were picked up and dropped on time in different locations. The hotels/resorts have very odd checkout timing. Early in the morning at 9 or 9:30 and they are very strict a

bout this. They do not consider any requests to extend this as well. Even breakfast should be finished within this time. Even though 2 of the resorts that we booked were said to be 4 star they cannot be considered as 4 star. My only suggestion would be to cross check on the resorts/hotels for the stay. Other than that the itinerary was very well planned and we had a good time.
