Rani Jhansi Marine National Park, Marine national park in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India.

Rani Jhansi Marine National Park is a marine conservation area in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands that spans multiple islands of the Ritchie's Archipelago and contains coral reefs and mangrove forests. These varied habitats create space for diverse marine and coastal plants and animals.

The protected area was established in 1996 and honors Rani Lakshmibai, Queen of Jhansi, who fought against British rule in the mid-1800s. The creation links the independence struggle with modern protection of marine resources.

The park bears the name of Rani Lakshmibai, the Queen of Jhansi, who fought during India's independence struggle and remains a celebrated symbol of resistance. This naming connects national history with nature conservation and shapes how locals understand their relationship to the islands.

The best time to visit is between November and April, when the weather is dry and pleasant. Visitors reach the protected area by boat from Port Blair, so prepare for a boat journey and plan around tidal conditions.

The park's most noted animal is a fruit-eating bat that pollinates plants and scatters seeds, a role that keeps the mangrove and island vegetation going. The park lies in Ritchie's Archipelago, about 30 km from Port Blair, and covers 256 km² of reefs and mangroves.
