Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
Atmospheric British-era ruins reclaimed by jungle, deer and peacocks.
Ross Island, renamed Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep, sits a short boat ride off Port Blair and was once the administrative heart of British Andaman. Today its colonial ruins, a church, ballroom and bakery, stand half-swallowed by strangler figs, roamed by tame deer, peacocks and rabbits. A gentle half-day trip, it pairs history with an easy island stroll. Indian visitors need no permit, and boats run regularly from Aberdeen Jetty.
Fly into Veer Savarkar Airport, check in and visit Corbyn's Cove or a local museum to settle in.
Take a morning boat from Aberdeen Jetty to Ross Island to explore the ruins and meet the resident deer and peacocks.
Tour the Cellular Jail and Port Blair's museums, returning for the evening light-and-sound show.
Add a ferry to Havelock or Neil for beaches and snorkelling, or a North Bay reef trip.
Enjoy a final Port Blair morning before your onward flight home.

Ross Island offers one of the archipelago's most evocative experiences: grand British buildings reclaimed by jungle, with wildlife roaming where officials once dined. It is an easy, rewarding half-day from Port Blair.
Boats depart from Aberdeen Jetty in Port Blair for the short crossing to Ross Island. It is usually combined with a North Bay or harbour trip, which we arrange within your Port Blair itinerary.
Wander the ruined church, ballroom and bakery, spot Japanese bunkers, and enjoy the tame deer and peacocks. An evening light-and-sound show brings the island's story to life.
Indian nationals need no permit for Ross Island or Port Blair. Foreign nationals register on arrival, and the island keeps set visiting hours.
October to May brings calm seas for the boat crossing and pleasant weather for walking the ruins. Monsoon months can see rougher water and occasional trip changes.
Wear comfortable shoes for uneven paths, carry water and sun protection, and check the boat and show timings in advance. The visit pairs neatly with Port Blair's other sights.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
