Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island, formerly known as Ross Island, is a historically rich destination located just 3 kilometers east of Port Blair in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Once the administrative headquarters of the British from 1858 to 1942, the island showcases remnants of colonial architecture, including a church, bakery, and officer's quarters, now enveloped by lush greenery. Renamed in 2018 to honor Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, who hoisted the Indian tricolor here in 1943, the island stands as a testament to India's freedom struggle. Visitors can explore the 'Smritika' museum, witness the mesmerizing light and sound show depicting its storied past, and encounter free-roaming deer amidst the ruins. Accessible via a short ferry ride from Port Blair, the island offers a poignant blend of natural beauty and historical significance.
