Andaman is not just about beaches and water sports—it also has many historical monuments and museums that showcase its rich past and culture. The most famous is the Cellular Jail in Port Blair, also known as Kala Pani, which stands as a reminder of India’s freedom struggle. The Japanese Bunkers and Ross Island ruins tell stories of colonial times and World War II. Museums in Andaman help visitors understand the islands better. The Samudrika Naval Marine Museum displays marine life, corals, and tribal history. The Anthropological Museum gives insights into the lifestyle of indigenous tribes. The Fisheries Museum shows a variety of aquatic species found in the region, while the Zoological Survey Museum is known for rare animal collections. Together, these monuments and museums add depth to an Andaman trip by combining history, culture, and knowledge.
