Gateway of Andaman: crafting seamless, enriching journeys that transform every visit into an unforgettable exploration of island wonder.
The Cellular Jail, also known as Kala Pani, is one of the most iconic heritage sites in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Located in the heart of Port Blair, it stands as a symbol of India’s painful yet proud struggle for independence. This colonial-era prison was built by the British in the late 1800s to exile and isolate Indian freedom fighters. Visiting Cellular Jail is not just a sightseeing experience—it’s a journey into a powerful chapter of Indian history. The design of Cellular Jail is unique and purposeful. Originally built with seven wings radiating from a central watchtower, the structure was designed to ensure complete solitary confinement of prisoners. Each wing had rows of small, single-person cells, cutting off communication among inmates. Today, three of these wings remain standing and have been transformed into a national memorial. Inside, you'll find galleries, preserved artifacts, and photographs that tell the stories of the brave souls imprisoned here. A visit to Cellular Jail often leaves visitors inspired and moved. One of the major highlights of Cellular Jail is the Light and Sound Show held in the evening. Narrated with the voices of historical characters and dramatic storytelling, the show re-creates the emotional experiences of the freedom fighters who once lived here. The lush gardens, central tower, and museum add further depth to your visit, offering both educational and emotional insight into India’s colonial past.
