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.

    Shashi's 7 days trip to Andaman

    Our recent trip to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands was nothing short of magical, and we owe a huge part of that to Travel Triangle. From the moment we booked our itinerary until we returned home, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The islands themselves were breathtaking – crys
    tal-clear waters, lush greenery, and serene beaches that felt like paradise. Each day brought new adventures, whether it was snorkeling in Havelock, exploring the historical Cellular Jail in Port Blair, or simply relaxing by the sea. Travel Triangle ensured our experience was seamless. The accommodations were top-notch, the local guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and every transfer was on time and hassle-free. We especially appreciated how they tailored the trip to our preferences, balancing sightseeing and relaxation perfectly. This trip created memories we’ll cherish forever, and we couldn’t have done it without the exceptional planning and service from Travel Triangle. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Andamans!

    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.
