Trekking in Andaman and Nicobar Islands: Adventurer's Paradise

Pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and some of the most captivating treks are must-do things in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The islands are a haven not just for beach lovers but also for those who find their bit of adventure amidst lush forests, rugged terrains, and breathtaking landscapes. The challenges of trekking in Andaman and Nicobar range from easy walks to tough hikes. 

Here is a guide to some of the best trekking spots across these islands of enchantment.

Mount Harriet to Madhuban: A Journey Through Wilderness

The Mount Harriet to Madhuban trek, located in South Andaman, is one such experience that will reward all nature lovers to the fullest. This 16 km stretch trail is a confusing one. It is a thick wood with exotic flora and fauna. The trail starts from serene Mt. Harriet and passes through the green forest with the rolling hills, which take one to Madhuban. On the way, a person gets to see endemic birds, vibrant butterflies, and a peaceful atmosphere, making the trek memorable. This journey is ideal for nature lovers and those fond of watching wildlife in their natural environs.

Chidia Tapu to Kala Pahad: Coastal and Forest Adventure

Starting from the picture-postcard Chidia Tapu beach, the trek to Kala Pahad offers just the right mixture of coastal beauty and forest adventure. It starts on the beach but goes up a dense forest before it reaches Kala Pahad, otherwise known as Black Mountain. At the top of the black cliff, this trek commands an excellent view of the coastline and the open sea. The rough terrain and occasional wildlife demand that trekkers either go in groups or with a local guide. This unique view from Kala Pahad makes this trek an absolute must for those who want to experience the peculiar combination of forests and coast.

Havelock Island - Elephant Beach: Short but Scenic Trek

For a shorter yet scintillating trek, the path from Havelock Island to Elephant Beach is the best. The trail will take one through a gigantic and enchanting wilderness, further proceeding into a mangrove forest that opens onto the beautiful Elephant Beach. Normally, this trek takes about 45 minutes to complete, and it is rather easy for all kinds of trekkers. The entire path is covered with green vegetation. The refreshing coastal breeze adds to the experience even more. Elephant Beach, with crystal waters and a floor of colourful marine life, stands as a perfect reward for the end of the trek.

Limestone Caves Baratang Island: A Unique Underground Experience

Trekking into the Limestone Caves of Baratang Island is a unique adventure combined with mangrove forests and intricate cave systems. This short trek is about 15-20 minutes through the thick forest and over rough ground to the spectacular limestone formations. Millions of years old, the caves are an interesting look into the geological history of the islands. This walk is perfect for those who like nature but with just a little adventure added.

Diglipur Island: Caves of Raman (Alfred) and Saddle Peak, for their majestic landscapes and mystic caves.

Yet, one of the most interesting trekking destinations in North Andaman lies amidst the heart of Diglipur Island: the Raman or Alfred Caves and the Saddle Peak. The Raman Caves happen to be one of the least explored yet incredibly beautiful caves in a series of interlinked and isolated ones. Trekking through these caves is like entering right into the heart of the mystique landscapes of the island. Saddle Peak is the highest point in the Andamans, at 732 meters, which leads one to a bit more strenuous trek. This one takes you through rich biodiversity, including evergreen forests, indigenous bird species, and rare insects. The view from the top is panoramic, with the surrounding islands and the Kalpong River, which flows through the region. This trek gives you a heady mix of natural beauty, adventure, and great views.
