Saddle Peak - Andaman
Saddle Peak Trek is a must trek if you plan a trip to Andaman and make sure you reserve a day for this trek to the highest peak in Andaman. Evergreen forests, massive trees, colourful chirping birds; the trek is so fascinating that it takes you back in time. Once at the peak, you can see the vast blue sea – Kalipur beach, Craggy Island, Lamia Bay – on one side and dense forests on another. You even have the luxury of choosing from two trails, one on the beach and another through the forest.
Trekkers of all ages get to explore land amidst the blue waters of this Island and the adventure that it has in store for them. Its a perfect family getaway as well as the perfect trek for youngsters.
The trail takes you to the highest point in the Andaman Islands and the scenery from here is simply breathtaking. The trail itself is a beautiful divine experience, you can follow the beach while enjoying the rising sun and then cut through the jungle and climb up to the top. These jungles haven’t been disturbed for a very long time. The sun’s rays do not reach the ground due to mammoth trees with huge trunks.
Saddle Peak is located on North of India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands. At 732 m, It is the highest point of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Saddle Peak
Saddle Peak Climbing Area
Took a break from our usual hiking and peakbagging to climb the slabs just below Saddle Peak in Los Angeles’ famed Santa Monica Mountains.
The climbing area is just off the main trail past the water tower a short 1 mile hike from Stunt and Saddle Peak Roads. Great sport and trad routes are all 50-60’ from 5.6 to 5.10 c/d. If you feel like taking a break from the long haul of the trail and instead want to do some climbing close to town we definitely recommend checking out Saddle Peak.
Until next time… Take a hike.
