A World-Class Birding Destination.

One of Asia's great birding destinations. Over 30 endemic species found nowhere else on earth, and yet more to be discovered.

The Andaman forests hold over 30 bird species found nowhere else on earth, and ornithological discoveries in the archipelago are still being made. Hundreds of migratory species pass through the islands each season. For serious birders, this is one of the most compelling destinations in all of Asia, and one of the least visited.

What Awaits

Stepping into the Andaman forest before dawn is a different kind of experience. Before you see the endemic species here, you will hear them. An Andaman Woodpecker working through the canopy. An Andaman Serpent Eagle calling from the forest edge. An Andaman Masked Owl, if you are out at the right hour with a guide who knows exactly where to listen.

Our guides locate species by call, read the forest by sound and movement, and know precisely where each endemic shows best through each part of the season. Night birding sessions bring owls and nightjars into range that most visitors never access. Our focus is on multi-day expeditions across different islands, covering the full range of habitats and endemic species the Andaman offers.

Who Is This For

For birding enthusiasts, serious listers, and birding groups who want specialist-guided access to one of Asia's most rewarding endemic birding destinations.

Why Choose Andaman Holidays

Our guides know these endemic species by call and by season. They have spent years in the forests, wetlands, and island habitats of the Andaman specifically. Their knowledge of where to find what, and when, is the difference between a good birding day and an exceptional one.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions
What is the best time for birding in the Andaman?
Arrow

October to April is the main season, with November to February being peak for bird activity and weather.

Are the endemic species reliably seen?
Arrow

Most of the 30+ endemics are findable with the right guide and timing. Some species require travel to specific outer islands, which we incorporate into longer programs.

Is this suitable for beginners as well as experienced listers?
Arrow

Yes. Programs are calibrated to the group. Experienced listers and first-time birders are both well served.

Can photography be incorporated into a birding program?
Arrow

Entirely. Our guides understand positioning, light, and approach distances needed for bird photography.
