Port Blair

Chidiya Tapu

Chidiya Tapu — literally "Bird Island" — sits at the southern tip of South Andaman, about 45 minutes from Port Blair. It's less a single sight than a slow drive through dense forest ending at a beach known island-wide for having the best sunsets near the capital.

Highlights

• Widely regarded as Port Blair's best sunset spot
• Birdwatching in the surrounding forest reserve
• Munda Pahad viewpoint nearby for wider vistas
• Quiet, uncrowded even in peak season
