About this Activity

Popularly known as the ‘Paris of East’, Ross Island has rich and elegant history to offer. Before the British arrived at Port Blair, Ross Island was their capital and hence had grand buildings of offices, clubs, bakeries and many more. You’ll also find a Japanese Bunker that was made during World War II. As you hop on this trip, you’ll witness remains and ruins. Deer, peacocks, cats and dogs all welcome you alike to this beautiful island. At the further end of the island, you’ll see the famous Ross Island lighthouse and a memorial for the sailors who lost their lives to the sea. The Island is now maintained by Indian Navy and you’ll find boards describing the events that happened in the history of Ross Island.
