Andaman birding tours packages
The Andaman Islands are a perfect summer escape, known for their stunning landscapes, clear waters, and beautiful sunsets. Beyond the beaches and watersports, the islands are a paradise for birdwatchers, with avifauna more closely related to Southeast Asia than the rest of India. Port Blair, the capital, offers a mix of history, culture, and birding opportunities. Chidiya Tapu, a small village, is a birdwatcher’s haven, home to endemic species like the Andaman Wood Pigeon and Andaman Woodpecker. The area also boasts Chidiya Tapu Biological Park, picturesque beaches, and vibrant coral reefs ideal for snorkeling. However, swimmers should be cautious of saltwater crocodiles.
