Ross Island

Ross Island is located very near to Port Blair and thus can be easily reached within few minutes. On visiting the island, one can understand the reasons why British chose Ross Island as their head quarter. The place gives picturesque views from all around. The island presently houses the ruins of the state Ballroom, the Chief Commissioner's House, the Government House, Church, the old 'Andamanese Home',which was Hospital, Bakery, Press, Swimming Pool and Troop Barracks, all in dilapidated condition, reminiscent of the old British regime.
