Mount Harriet National Park, once the summer headquarters of the British Chief Commissioner, is a serene hill station offering some of the best trekking in the Andamans. The park's highest point, Mount Harriet (383 meters), provides breathtaking views of the surrounding islands and the sea. Visitors can hike along well-marked trails through dense tropical forests, spotting endemic birds, butterflies, and wildlife like the Andaman wild pig. The cool climate and quiet trails make it a refreshing escape from Port Blair's humidity.
Don't miss
- Hike the 16-km trek from Mount Harriet to Madhuban through pristine forest.
- Enjoy panoramic views of Port Blair and the Bay of Bengal from the summit.
- Spot the Andaman drongo and other endemic bird species along the trails.
