Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island

The island contains numerous stone structures from the British colonial period, including a church, cemetery, and administrative buildings across its terrain.

The British administration established their headquarters on this island in the 19th century, managing the Andaman Islands until their departure in 1945.

The island received its current name in 2018 to commemorate Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, who raised the Indian flag there during World War II.

Visitors reach the island through regular ferry services from Port Blair, with the journey taking approximately 15 minutes across the water.

The naval base INS Jarawa operates on the island, named after an indigenous tribe of the Andaman Islands.
