Chidiya Tapu Biological Park

Chidiya Tapu Biological Park is a 40-hectare zoological and conservation park located at Chidiya Tapu, about 25 km south of Port Blair in South Andaman. Developed by the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Forest Department to replace the Mini Zoo at Haddo, it houses endemic and rescued fauna in spacious, forested enclosures. The park is notable for its focus on Andaman biodiversity, natural forest setting, and educational exhibits.

Visitors can expect a forested biological park with spacious enclosures and caged exhibits set amid dense tropical vegetation. The park displays endemic and native fauna including saltwater crocodiles, Andaman wild pigs, spotted deer, and various birds. Paved and natural trails connect enclosures, with interpretation boards, rest shelters and viewpoints. The setting is quiet and natural, surrounded by reserve forest near the coast, suitable for leisurely walks, wildlife viewing and photography.
