| About Port Blair Tourism |
The hilly city of Port Blair, also known as Emerald Islands, is on the east coast of South Andaman Island, and is reachable from Kolkata, Chennai and Vishakhapatnam.
Named after Lieutenant Archibald Blair who tried to establish a colony
here in 1789, this exquisite island was previously associated with
British colonial rule and the Independence struggle. The infamous Cellular Jail is located on the Ross Island. Port Blair was also headquarters of Subhash Chandra Bose's Indian National Army. The islands are a treasure house of marine life that thrives in the deep waters of the Bay of Bengal. Port Blair was made popular by the Hawaii-born musician, filmmaker, and surfer Jack Johnson's song Holes to Heaven that describes his surf trip here.

Mamatha, Bangalore | 3rd December 2006 Visit to Andaman Islands
| Overview of the destinationIt is one of the destination which all Indians should visit. It has history and natural beauty. People are very polite. We Food, sight-seeing and shopping There are not many good eating places and shopping can be avoided. Activities & things to do Water sports snorkeling in some of the Islands. Visiting tribal camps have to be planned well in advance. Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc. Most convenient way to reach is by air from Chennai or Kolkatta, but flights are always full and need to book well in advance. |
