Heritage and Culture: Explore Ancient Andaman

 

Cellular Jail

It is one of the most fabulous monuments that one may see: Cellular Jail or "Kaala Paani." Built in 1906 by the British, this prison stands as a stark reminder of India's sacrifice in securing its independence. National memorial of the sacrifices made by freedom fighters, and which houses an Evening Sound and Light Show that portrays the jail's harrowing past. A definite must-see.

Ross Island

From Port Blair, a boat trip takes you to Ross Island. This island used to be the British administrative headquarters, though there's so much ruin now. It contains the remains of colonial architecture such as a church and a cemetery. Exploring Ross Island provides insight into the lives of British officers and their families during colonial times.

Japanese Bunkers

Havelock Island has to be the destination for most Japanese bunkers, World War II. They stand faithfully preserved and testify to the strategical importance that the islands represented when at war, along with the natural beauty associated with them.

Anthropological Museum

For anyone who wants to learn about the indigenous cultures of the region, an essential stop is the Anthropological Museum in Port Blair; it houses many objects or exhibits that highlight the diverse tribal communities inhabiting these islands for many centuries.

Summing up

Visiting the sites of history through some handpicked Andaman tour packages, one can soak in all the colors of culture that the islands have to offer. From the eerie accounts from Cellular Jail to the quiet beauty of Ross Island, every place has its own tale to tell-and to delve deeper into the abundant marvel that the destination promises.
