About Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep)

Once the administrative headquarters for the British in the Andamans, Ross Island is now a fascinating destination known for its colonial-era ruins, which are being reclaimed by nature. A short ferry ride from Port Blair, the island is like an open-air museum where you can walk among the ruins of a church, a ballroom, and a chief commissioner's residence, all entwined with massive tree roots. The island is also home to a large population of friendly deer and peacocks. It offers a unique and poignant glimpse into the islands' colonial past.
