Getting Around in Port Blair
Though a small town, Port Blair has been rapidly expanding, thus making it often difficult for tourists to self-navigate especially without Google maps (thanks to patchy internet).
Thus renting a chauffeured car is recommended especially for groups and families. Auto-rickshaws are also widely available and prove to be an inexpensive way of transport. Buses though, well connected, may be difficult to catch as proper scheduled and timings are not followed or available.
For those who are adventurous and would want to try self-drive – bike rentals are an option.

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.
