Ross Island

Historical Significance

Ross Island, now known as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island, holds a significant place in the history of the Andaman Islands. Once the administrative headquarters of the British, the island is now a picturesque ruin. Abandoned after an earthquake in 1941, the island’s buildings have been reclaimed by banyan trees, creating a hauntingly beautiful landscape.

Exploring the Ruins

Visitors can explore the ruins of old buildings, including a church, a bakery, and former British administrative offices. Furthermore, the island is also home to various wildlife, such as peacocks and deer, adding to its charm.

A Blend of History and Adventure

A trip to these islands offers a blend of history, adventure, and natural beauty. North Bay Island provides thrilling water activities and stunning coral views. In contrast, Ross Island takes you on a nostalgic journey through time, showcasing the resilience of nature over man-made structures. Together, they offer a comprehensive experience of the Andaman Islands’ rich heritage and natural splendor.
