MOUNT HARRIET

 

One of the many national parks in the Andaman Islands is the Mount Harriet National Park, which is considered as the main attraction and highest peak in the Archipelago of South Andaman. The main feature of Mount Harriet is its fauna and natural flora, which are up to now still unmatched. Just like a forest, Mount Harriet is covered with greenery and Port Blair can be seen from the top of the mount’s peak.

Mount Harriet was named after British soldier Robert Christopher Tytler’s wife Harriet. Aside from being a soldier, Tytler was a photographer and a nature lover hence he was able to capture the beauty of the area. From his pictures, you can see the islands around Mount Harriet with breathtaking beauty. Tytler was also served as the Superintendent of the Convict Settlement located in Port Blair from 1862 to 1864.
