The volcano, which is in the form of a large crater, last erupted in 1994-95 after remaining dormant for 177 years.

This thoroughly enjoyable activity on a trip to India is uncomplicated and doesn’t need any prior practice or elaborate equipment.

These mysterious Caves which were hidden from the world for a long time, are stunning in their formation and transport you to another dimension.
• Cellular Jail – A former British Colonial Prison
A trip to Andaman would be incomplete without a visit to the Cellular Jail in Port Blair, more popularly known by the name ‘Kala Paani’ (Black Water). This jail is the most infamously famous place in the entire Indian subcontinent and a must visit on a trip to India. Hundreds of Indian activists and freedom fighters were jailed here during the British colonial period. However, it has become a tourist attraction now and the Sound & Light show held every day, portrays the history of this gloomy place to the curious onlooker.
• Mt Harriet – the third highest peak in the archipelago
Not a very long distance from Port Blair lies Mount Harriet. This hill is 365 Mts high and gives a stunning view of the islands and the oceans surrounding it. You can reach here by road, by trek or by a short ferry ride.
• Ross Island – First British Settlement in India
A very short distance of 5 Kms from the capital Port Blair, lies the historic Ross Island, where the British settled during their rule in India. This is a must visit spot in the Andamans, as the ruins here tell a vivid story of the opulent lifestyle and architectural acumen of the British 150 years back. The Island was later converted into a POW camp by the Japanese and finally abandoned. The place is now un-inhabited.
