Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island, formerly Ross Island near Sri Vijaya Puram, preserves the remains of a former British administrative headquarters. The ruined buildings and Smritika museum give the visit a historical focus. Keep this island distinct from the Ross and Smith Islands near Diglipur when checking routes or arranging transfers.
Discover Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island
The attraction is the relationship between surviving structures, vegetation and the island setting. A measured walk allows the ruins to be understood as a former settlement rather than isolated photographic backdrops. Museum access can add context, but the island journey and return arrangements need confirmation in their own right.
Places to explore
Former administrative settlement ruins
The surviving remains recall the island’s role as a British headquarters and form the principal historical landscape for visitors to explore.

Suggested sightseeing plan
Use this as a starting point. Adjust the sequence to your interests, access arrangements and local conditions.
- After a confirmed landing, follow the permitted route through the ruins, pausing to understand the former administrative setting.
- Include Smritika if accessible, then return to the designated boarding area with the buffer required by the confirmed boat arrangement.
Planning your visit
- Confirm the correct island name and departure point with the authorised boat provider; similarly named Andaman destinations are geographically different.
- Keep the return sailing arrangement clear before beginning the walk, and avoid entering unstable or restricted ruined structures.
- Carry footwear with grip for island paths and keep belongings protected from spray during the sea crossing.
