About Port Blair

Port Blair is the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the primary entry point for travelers. The city has a rich and poignant history, most famously embodied by the Cellular Jail National Memorial, a former British penal colony that is a solemn reminder of India's struggle for freedom. The city also offers beautiful attractions like Corbyn's Cove Beach and the Anthropological Museum, which provides insights into the islands' indigenous tribes. It serves as the main hub for ferries to other popular islands like Havelock and Neil.
