Saddle Peak Trek is a hard single-day, 6 km trek, topping out at 732 m. Best months: January–March and November–December. Fitness level: high, permits required, not recommended for children. A demanding day-trip — book the trek with a registered guide and start before first light to clear the descent in daylight. The payoff is the highest vantage point in the Andamans, offering views across the archipelago on clear mornings — worth the pre-dawn start and steep scrambles. Pair this with Diglipur's limestone caves and beach time to justify the trip north from Port Blair.
