Saddle Peak National Park

Saddle Peak National Park is a protected area in the Andaman Islands covered in thick rainforest, with streams and seasonal waterways running through the terrain. The landscape features steep hillsides and green valleys that descend toward the ocean.

The park was established in 1979 to protect the natural environment surrounding the archipelago's highest mountain. This peak has shaped the landscape of the islands since ancient times and remains a defining geographical feature.

The conservation area maintains essential habitats for the Andaman hill myna and numerous endemic species that represent the biodiversity of the Andaman archipelago.

The park is accessible daily and offers trails of varying difficulty through the forest. The best time to visit is during drier months, when paths and viewpoints are easier to reach.

A hiking trail climbs to the summit and reveals views of the saddle-shaped mountain ridge that gave the park its name. From the top, you can see the entire island group and the surrounding ocean stretching in all directions.
