Cellular Jail is a famous colonial prison located in Port Blair on the Andamans Islands and is often identified with words like ‘terror’ and ‘fear’. Once built and used by the British to exile political prisoners, it is now an important tourist destination for many as it serves as a historical reminder for one of the darkest chapters in the Indian freedom struggle.

Commonly known as “Kala Paani”, this historic jail makes for a grim look into the past and a soul-stirring experience. It brings to life the tales of bravery and the sacrifices of the many political prisoners that went through here. The unique and intimidating structure of this massive prison is as spine-chilling as the stories it holds. And, if you are a history buff or a culture aficionado, you cannot leave Andamans without visiting the Cellular Jail!

Highlights of Cellular Jail:
Visit the Cellular Jail Museum to understand the history of the place and the story of the inmates. Visit the Photo Gallery and exhibitions that display different sides of India’s fight for freedom. Visit the Library and browse through the books to know more about the freedom movement. Visit Veer Savarkar’s cell, a fearless freedom fighter, who was sentenced to 50 years of imprisonment at the Cellular Jail. Enjoy the Light and Sound Show narrated by Om Puri in the evening that takes you through an immersive journey of the entire history of the jail. Admire the distinct architecture of the jail which was made to resemble a “wheel of a bicycle” with different wings connecting to a watchtower in the center.

Tips: The Cellular jail is closed on Mondays and remains open all through the week from 9 am to 5 pm except for the one-hour lunch break at 12:30 pm.

We recommend that you visit the jail in the afternoon as you have better chances of getting a guide during that time.
