A mix of history, nature, and local flavors to round off your Port Blair visit
Activities
Ross Island Exploration
Hop on a short ferry ride to this abandoned British administrative headquarters, now overtaken by peacocks and deer. Wander through crumbling colonial buildings with roots strangling the walls – nature reclaiming its space. The small museum gives fascinating glimpses into the island's past.
- Wear sturdy shoes – paths are uneven
- Carry water and snacks – limited options on island
Chidiya Tapu Sunset
Head to this quiet southern tip nicknamed 'Bird Island' for one of Andaman's best sunset spots. The jungle trail (easy 20-min walk) leads to a rocky cliff with panoramic views. Listen for parakeets and hornbills in the trees as you wait for that golden moment over the sea.
- Stop at the biological park en route if time permits
- Mosquito repellent is a must
