How to Reach Rangat?
Several morning bus services are available between Port Blair and Rangat. The journey through Andaman Trunk Road is very tiring and it can take up to seven hours by bus. Some Jarawa tribals can be seen on the way. Do note that any interaction with them is illegal.
You can also take ferry from Port blair to havelock and Havelock to Rangat, also multiple ferries directly run from port blair to Rangat via Long Island.
The bus station is at the center of Rangat from where almost all the accommodation options are reachable by foot. There is also a government boat that connects Rangat Bay from Havelock/Neil/Port Blair and vice versa. The jetty is around a 10 km distance from the main bazaar. The boat runs four days a week but it is advisable to check the schedule, as it is subjective to change. Another option for how to get to Rangat is by a small ferry from Long Island. In a short boat ride through mangrove creeks, you’ll reach Yerrata jetty, which is about 8km away from the main market. There are auto-rickshaws and public jeeps available and if lucky you can also catch a local bus. Again, do check for timetables though as they do change.

The kayaking experience was super fun and knowledgeable. Mr.Ali was very friendly and ensured we had a clam and a relaxing paddling experience and enriched us with facts about mangrove trees, it’s ecosystem and Abadman islands and clicked some cool pics 🙂
Ross Island is ideally a two part trip, the morning to evening portion includes going around the island looking at the ruins from the era of the British and Japanese rule. the late evening portion includes a spectacular sound, light & video show (yes you read it correctly!!) which has been created specially for Ross island by Revathi (the actress)
This is a over hyped, and not worth the time and money spent to reach here. It used to be called the “Paris of the East” when the British settled here. But everything is destroyed now.
The only good place here is a beach that is on the other side. You will need to climb down and up a lot of steps to get there.
It was a perfect location for family fun, the erstwhile Ross Island has all the history of a mini Paris, albeit at the cost of all Indian labour and is an example of the British opulence over poverty stricken India. Perfect for taking pics and the picturesque light house was delightful. We took the buggy as we were a large family with kids. There are deer and peacocks too.
