Galathea National Park

Galathea National Park is a protected tropical rainforest national park covering about 110 square kilometres on southern Great Nicobar Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Established in 1992, it forms part of the Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve. The park is known for its dense evergreen forests, endemic wildlife including the Nicobar megapode and giant leatherback sea turtles nesting at Galathea Bay, and its remote, largely undisturbed island ecosystem.

Visitors can expect a remote, dense tropical evergreen rainforest with limited, strictly regulated access. The park encompasses undisturbed forest, coastal mangroves and the Galathea Bay nesting beach. Wildlife viewing is focused on endemic birds such as the Nicobar megapode, giant leatherback turtles during nesting season, and diverse island flora and fauna. There are no developed tourist trails or visitor facilities inside the park; entry requires prior permission from the Andaman and Nicobar Forest Department and is typically only with an authorized guide.
