Joggers Park in Port Blair is a small, peaceful hilltop park with one of the best free views in the city. Set on a rise above the town, it looks out over rooftops, the Bay of Bengal and the airport runway, where you can watch planes land and take off against the sea. It is a favourite with locals for morning walks and evening strolls, and with visitors who want a quiet, easy stop between bigger sights.
The park is a short drive from the centre of Port Blair and fits easily into a morning or evening plan. This guide covers what you will see, the best time to go, how to reach it, how long to allow and how to combine it with nearby attractions. If you would rather have your sightseeing and transfers arranged for you, explore our Andaman tour packages, planned by Andaman Emerald Travels, a travel team based in Port Blair.

Joggers Park is not a large park, and it does not need to be. A paved track winds around the hilltop, with benches, shaded corners and open viewpoints along the way. Because it sits above the town, you get wide views in several directions. The city spreads out below, the water shines in the distance and the runway of Veer Savarkar International Airport lies close enough for you to see aircraft on their approach.
The park was refreshed some years ago and is known for being tidy and well kept. It is a quiet place, popular with walkers, joggers and people who want an hour of fresh air. Compared with the busy waterfront, it is calm and uncrowded, and it makes a pleasant contrast to a day of museums and monuments.
The main activity is simply walking the circuit. The path is gentle, the air is fresher than in the town below and there are plenty of places to pause. Many visitors come at sunrise to exercise before the day heats up.
The park overlooks the airport, which makes it one of the few places where you can watch aircraft arrive and depart with the sea behind them. Flights are not constant, so check the schedule if you want to time your visit, and bring a camera or binoculars if you have them.
From the higher points, you can see across Port Blair to the Bay of Bengal. On a clear day the water looks bright blue, and the view is especially pretty in soft morning or evening light.
Because the park sits above the town, the sky is wide and open, which suits both sunrise and sunset photographs. Check the weather first, as clouds and haze can dim the colours.
If you have been rushing between sights, the park is a good place to slow down. Sit on a bench, drink some water and enjoy the breeze for a few minutes before your next stop.
| Highlight | What It Is | Approx. Time Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Hilltop walking track | A gentle paved path around the park | 20 to 30 minutes |
| Airport view | Planes landing and taking off | 10 to 20 minutes (depends on flights) |
| City and sea views | Wide views across Port Blair to the bay | 10 to 15 minutes |
| Sunrise or sunset | Open sky and soft light | 30 to 45 minutes |
| Rest and photography | Benches, shade and photo spots | 10 to 20 minutes |
Timings are approximate and vary with weather and flight schedules.
The park can be visited all year, but the best time of day is early morning or late afternoon, when it is cooler and the light is softer. The best season is October to May, when the skies are clearer. Rain makes the paths slippery and hides the view, so avoid the park during heavy showers. For planning, see our guides to October, December and February weather.
| Months | Season | What to Expect | Our Guides |
|---|---|---|---|
| October to November | Post-monsoon | Green surroundings and improving skies | October, November |
| December to February | Peak season | Clear skies and pleasant weather | December, January, February |
| March to May | Summer | Warm and humid; visit early or late | March, April, May |
| June to September | Monsoon | Rain and cloud; paths can be slippery | June, July, August, September |
