Map of Andaman Islands
Andaman Tourist Map
An island is where life starts. Every island is a reflection of how life evolves. Made from bed of volcanic rocks islands like those in Andaman harbour million years of geology, history and marine life which the tribes discuss in their tradition. That’s why you see bigger and larger species in islands than in the mainland. It’s an ecological hotspot. This is what draws people and academics all alike. Visiting Andaman is like visiting a subdued version of the Galapagos Islands.
Knowing this, I ventured on my island journey last December with my parents. While they were on their touristic pursuit I was there to discover.Back then the tourist map of Andaman and Nicobar Islands wasn’t something I had in mind as I thought I would get it on the internet and travel. But it proved otherwise.
Getting To the Island
An Arthur Conan Doyle fan and Sherlock addict I had thought of the tribes of the land many a time. Afterall who could forget Tonga from ‘The Sign of Four’. The popular story was based on the real life story of Jack Andaman – a little Andamanese boy who was captured by the British and brought to Calcutta. But he perished soon.
Much of Andaman remains mired in such stories set amidst a fragile ecological reality and I was to explore both. With this intention I landed in Port Blair on a bright sunny touristy December Sunday for a 7 day Andaman trip on a budget.
But getting to Andaman is one thing and manoeuvring through it is a different thing altogether. There are various information available over the internet which paints a different picture from reality. So, getting an Andaman and Nicobar Islands map and knowing the landscape is the first step of deciding on a tour.
Different kinds of Andaman Islands maps are available on the internet and in popular places. However none of them is concrete. First you must take a look at an ecological Andaman offline map to know the ecological aspect of it. The Andaman Trunk Road runs straight all over North, South Andaman, Middle Andaman and Baratang. You would be traveling along this road to visit places on this island and then take a 2-3hours cruise to other popular islands like Neil and Havelock.
This Andaman offline map given in author Pankaj Sekhsaria’s book “The Last Wave” shows that. Most of the popular tourist destinations are displayed on the tourist maps of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, available in popular tourist spots. But it’s not enough to move with this information alone.
Using Andamans Maps
An interesting Andaman and Nicobar Islands Map brochure caught my mother’s attention on our first day in Andaman. She caught hold of a map from Go2Andaman which had well articulated information regarding
- Popular Routes and Trails
- Public Transport Points,
- Spots for Adventure Sports
- Activities
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- ATM and Money Exchange Centres
- Cab Numbers, Airline Helplines
- Helpline Numbers and Police Emergency Contacts and Even Areas to look for Valuable Shopping
This Andaman offline map even traced out some less traveled destinations.

The kayaking experience was super fun and knowledgeable. Mr.Ali was very friendly and ensured we had a clam and a relaxing paddling experience and enriched us with facts about mangrove trees, it’s ecosystem and Abadman islands and clicked some cool pics 🙂
Ross Island is ideally a two part trip, the morning to evening portion includes going around the island looking at the ruins from the era of the British and Japanese rule. the late evening portion includes a spectacular sound, light & video show (yes you read it correctly!!) which has been created specially for Ross island by Revathi (the actress)
This is a over hyped, and not worth the time and money spent to reach here. It used to be called the “Paris of the East” when the British settled here. But everything is destroyed now.
The only good place here is a beach that is on the other side. You will need to climb down and up a lot of steps to get there.
It was a perfect location for family fun, the erstwhile Ross Island has all the history of a mini Paris, albeit at the cost of all Indian labour and is an example of the British opulence over poverty stricken India. Perfect for taking pics and the picturesque light house was delightful. We took the buggy as we were a large family with kids. There are deer and peacocks too.
