The emerald rainforests, mangrove creeks, and sun-dappled beaches of South Andaman Island offer a birding experience unlike anywhere else in India. Surrounded by turquoise seas and draped in lush tropical greenery, the island is a hotspot of endemism, home to several species found nowhere else on Earth. From the calls of the Andaman Woodpecker echoing through the forest canopy to the flutter of the Andaman Drongo over a coastal trail, every corner of South Andaman teems with avian life and island charm.
 

This 6-day, 5-night BIRDING TOUR is designed to explore the best birding habitats of South Andaman — covering Chidiya Tapu, Mount Harriet National Park, Shoal Bay, Ograbraj, and Sippighat — each offering a unique mix of evergreen forest, coastal wetland, and mangrove ecosystem. The itinerary ensures a balanced and unhurried pace, ideal for both avid birders and nature photographers seeking to experience the Andaman Islands’ rich biodiversity and serene island landscapes.
 

Birding is conducted through guided forest walks, mangrove explorations, and short vehicle transfers across diverse habitats, providing ample opportunities to spot island endemics and migrant visitors. Beyond birdlife, the tranquil seascapes, coral-blue waters, and tropical rainforests make this tour a perfect blend of wilderness and relaxation — a true paradise for naturalists.
