PORT BLAIR

Cellular Jail (Kala Pani)

The Cellular Jail, famously known as Kala Pani, is one of the most powerful reminders of India’s freedom struggle, located right in the heart of Port Blair. Built by the British to exile Indian revolutionaries, this massive structure with seven isolated wings tells a chilling story of sacrifice, courage, and pain. Walking through its narrow corridors and solitary cells, visitors can feel the echoes of legends like Veer Savarkar and Batukeshwar Dutt who once endured inhumane treatment here. The highlight is the Light and Sound Show held every evening, where the voice of a Peepal tree narrates the emotional tale of patriotism with music and projection. With its historical museum, rooftop sea views, and emotional storytelling, Cellular Jail is a must-visit for anyone who wants to connect deeply with India's past while witnessing one of the most iconic landmarks in the Andaman Islands.

Flag Point – Where the Tricolour First Flew in Andaman
