Port Blair

Cellular Jail · light show 6:30 PM

Every Andaman trip starts and ends in Port Blair — the archipelago's capital and its only real city. Most travellers give it a day at either end of the itinerary, and it earns that day: the Cellular Jail's evening light-and-sound show is one of the most affecting hours you'll spend anywhere in India.

Beyond the jail, Port Blair is where you'll find the Anthropological Museum, the fish market at Junglighat, and Corbyn's Cove — a easy, palm-lined beach fifteen minutes from the airport, good for an evening swim before a flight.
