Day 1
Ross Island Discovery
A day stepping back in time on Ross Island, exploring its colonial ruins, lush greenery, and fascinating history.
Activities
Ruins of the British Settlement
Start your day wandering through the eerie yet beautiful remnants of the British colonial era. The old church, bakery, and chief commissioner’s house tell silent stories of the island’s past. The overgrown roots and vines creeping over the structures make for hauntingly beautiful photos.
- Wear comfortable shoes for uneven paths.
- Carry water and sunscreen—shade is sparse.
Light and Sound Show
A must-do to understand the island’s layered history. The show narrates Ross Island’s transformation from a British administrative hub to a Japanese bunker during WWII. The dramatic lighting against the ruins adds to the experience.
- Arrive 15 mins early for good seating.
- The show is in Hindi/English—ask for headphones if needed.
Deer Spotting and Nature Walk
Ross Island is teeming with spotted deer and peacocks. Take a leisurely stroll along the marked trails—you’ll likely spot them grazing near the ruins or by the shoreline. The forest canopy is alive with birdsong, making it a peaceful escape.
- Stay quiet to avoid startling the deer.
- Look for giant fruit bats in the trees!
