Rose Island, officially called Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island, is one of the most beautiful and historic spots in the Andaman Islands. It is just a short boat ride away from Port Blair and is known for its calm beaches, green surroundings, and old colonial ruins surrounded by blue waters.
If you’re planning a relaxing tropical holiday, Andaman Tour Packages usually include a visit to Rose Island because of its peaceful vibe and natural beauty. The island was once the British headquarters before an earthquake in 1941, and today, you can still see old buildings and lovely walking paths shaded by tall trees.
