Chidiyatapu – The Sunset Point of Andaman

Nestled around 25 kilometers from Port Blair, Chidiyatapu is a picturesque coastal retreat known for its mesmerizing sunsets, lush mangroves, and rich birdlife. Often called the “Bird Island” of Andaman, it is a haven for nature lovers and photographers alike.

The name “Chidiyatapu” literally translates to “Island of Birds,” and true to its name, the area is home to numerous species of colorful indigenous and migratory birds, especially during early mornings and evenings. The Chidiyatapu Biological Park, located nearby, adds to the region’s ecological charm.

The beach, also referred to as Sunset Point, offers a tranquil atmosphere with a backdrop of dense forests and hills. As the day ends, the sky turns into a canvas of orange, pink, and purple hues—an unforgettable experience for couples, solo travelers, and families alike.

Adventure enthusiasts can enjoy trekking to Munda Pahad, a nearby cliff offering panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding landscape. Whether you're seeking peace, photography, or light adventure, Chidiyatapu is a perfect escape from the bustle of the city.
