Bird Watching in the Andaman Islands is a unique experience due to the region’s rich biodiversity and large number of endemic bird species. The islands are home to more than 250 species of birds, including many that are found only in this region.

One of the most famous bird watching spots is Chidiya Tapu, often referred to as the “Bird Island” of Andaman. This scenic location is known for its diverse bird population and spectacular sunset views. Visitors can spot various species such as parakeets, sea eagles, drongos, and woodpeckers.

Another excellent destination is Mount Harriet National Park, which offers dense forest habitats that support many endemic birds like the Andaman Treepie and Andaman Serpent Eagle. The peaceful forest trails make it an ideal place for bird watchers and photographers.

For those exploring North Andaman, Saddle Peak National Park also provides excellent bird watching opportunities along with scenic trekking routes.

Bird watching tours are best conducted during early morning hours when birds are most active. Guided tours are often recommended as local guides can help identify species and explain the ecological importance of the region’s wildlife.

This activity is perfect for nature enthusiasts who want to experience the untouched natural beauty and unique wildlife of the Andaman Islands.
