Chidiya Tapu Biological Park (Bird Island Biological Park) came into existence in 2001
with the aim to conserve and study endemic and endangered species of animals found in
the Andaman and Nicobar islands. Since then the park has been a center for biodiversity
and conservation where one can catch a glimpse of the rich fauna of the islands.
The plan for the park has been meticulously laid out to span over 20 years and three
phases, of which only one phase is currently open to the public.
A green and dense jungle-like environment cleverly recreates the natural habitat of the
animals here. Sprawled over 40 hectares, the park is covered with a variety of plants,
right from the majestic Mahuas to the exquisite Padauks. While walking through this
jungle, one would be able to catch a glimpse of a variety of birds flying around freely.
Other than birds you could spot wild pigs as well as barking deer and spotted deer.
Those fascinated with reptiles would enjoy the saltwater crocodile spotting.
