Mount Harriet National Park, located in the Andaman Islands, is an untamed, untouched beauty. At 383 meters above sea level, this natural wonder offers breathtaking panoramic views of Port Blair, making it the third-highest peak in the Andaman archipelago. The park's dense tropical forests hide stories – it was once the summer headquarters of the British Chief Commissioner during colonial times, and its image even graces the back of the Indian ₹20 note!
For nature lovers exploring Andaman tour packages, this park is a gateway to discovering over 90 bird species, rare orchids, and diverse butterflies. Its historical connection to the Indian freedom struggle, as it served as a detention camp during the independence movement, makes Mount Harriet truly special and adds layers of historical significance to its natural splendour.
