Ross Island – A must visit if you love photography

Ross Island, a captivating jewel of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, beckons travelers with its rich history, lush greenery, and stunning blue waters. Accessible only by boat, reaching Ross Island is an adventure in itself. Visitors typically embark on a scenic journey from Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, aboard a ferry or private boat.

The journey to Ross Island begins with a leisurely cruise across the turquoise waters of the Bay of Bengal, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding islands and coastline. As travelers approach Ross Island, they are greeted by the sight of verdant forests, ancient ruins, and the remnants of colonial architecture peeking through the lush foliage.

Upon arrival, visitors are transported back in time as they explore the island’s storied past. Once the administrative headquarters of the British colonial settlement, Ross Island now stands as a hauntingly beautiful testament to its bygone era. Crumbling colonial buildings, overgrown with vines and vegetation, offer glimpses into the island’s former glory, while serene pathways lead to hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

But perhaps the most enchanting aspect of Ross Island is the mesmerizing blue water that surrounds it. Whether viewed from its sun-drenched shores or admired from the deck of a boat, the azure hues of the sea captivate the imagination and beckon travelers to dive in and explore its depths. Snorkeling and diving opportunities abound, allowing visitors to encounter the vibrant marine life that calls these waters home.

As the sun sets over Ross Island, casting a golden glow upon its shores, visitors bid farewell to this enchanting oasis, their hearts filled with memories of adventure, discovery, and the timeless beauty of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
