Day 1: Arrival at Port Blair & Exploring Corbyns Cove Beach and Cellular Jail
Your Andaman adventure kicks off as you land at Veer Savarkar Airport in Port Blair. Once you arrive, you’ll be welcomed and transferred to your hotel, where you can check in, unwind, and prepare for the day’s activities.
Corbyns Cove Beach

It’s a perfect spot to soak in the calm ambiance and enjoy the beach vibes that Andaman is famous for.
Cellular Jail
After some beach time, you’ll visit the historic Cellular Jail, also known as Kala Pani. This jail holds a significant place in Indian history, as it was used by the British to exile political prisoners. In the evening, you’ll witness the iconic Light and Sound Show at Cellular Jail. This show is an emotional and moving experience that narrates the hardships faced by India’s freedom fighters, bringing the jail’s dark past to life. After the show, you’ll head back to your hotel for a restful night in Port Blair.
Day 2: Excursion to Ross Island & North Bay

Ross Island (Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island)
First up is Ross Island, now officially called Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island. This island was once the administrative capital of the British in the Andaman region and even saw a brief Japanese occupation. Here, you’ll find intriguing ruins of old British buildings amidst scenic landscapes, offering a glimpse into the island’s colonial past. The beauty and historical value of Ross Island make it a must-visit.
North Bay Island
After exploring Ross Island, it’s time to head to North Bay Island, famously known as “The Gateway to Port Blair.” North Bay offers some of the best underwater experiences in Andaman, thanks to its vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life.
