Mundapahad Trek
Mundapahad Trek is an easy single-day, 3 km trek, topping out at 30 m. Best months: January–May and October–December. Fitness level: beginner, suitable for children with adult supervision. An accessible day-trip — book the trek with a registered guide and start before first light to clear the descent in daylight. Pair it with a morning visit to Chidiya Tapu's viewpoint for sweeping Andaman Sea views, then return to the beach for a late lunch. The trek's brevity makes it ideal for families breaking up a longer island itinerary, though the tropical humidity demands plenty of water.
