Nestled amidst towering green mountains and captivating wilderness, Mt. Harriet National Park stands as a cherished gem of Port Blair. Named after the British artist Harriet C. Tytler, the park, established in 1987, was initially a forest reserve and served as a headquarters for British officials. Encompassing 5 square kilometers, it boasts rich biodiversity and offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding area. As the highest peak in the Andaman Islands, Mt. Harriet is not only a sanctuary for flora and fauna but also a symbol of natural splendor. Fun fact: This majestic mountain is immortalized on the 20 Rupee note in Indian currency.
