Saddle Peak is the highest peak that is there in the entire Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is a part of a town called Diglipur that is situated in the Northern Andaman area. The peak offers a panoramic view of an abundance of natural beauty around. It is quite famous amongst the hikers and trekkers who are looking for an exhilarating adventure. To visit this place, you need to have permission from the forest department and pay a certain permit charge. To complete this trip till the peak and come back, you have to start early in the morning, because the sun sets early around 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm and you have to reach the base of the peak before 4:30 pm for safety reasons as per the forest departments guidelines. The cab takes you till the base of the hill from where you are supposed to start the trek. You have to walk within the forest at the sea level itself for about 1 hour 30 minutes before you reach a stream, after reaching the stream the climbing to the Saddle Peak ultimately begins. Until you reach the stream things will be very easy and you will enjoy your walk amidst nature. For this trek, you can get a guide who can accompany you during your trek to make sure you are on the right track. The guides take you to the right places to peep through for a view, the right place to sit down and relax when you are too tired to start again and complete the trek. After a trek of 3 hours, you reach the 1st stage of the trek - a picturesque viewpoint which gives a very beautiful view and from here you can also see the second peak and the final top peak of the Saddle Peak. While trekking through the jungle, you will come across many tree species (including sandalwoods) and several edible wild fruits (don’t eat anything straight from the tree without having proper knowledge). These trees are huge and make ahead circle which keeps the forest cool and saves you from the sun even on a bright sunny day which makes your trek a bit easier. From here you need to trek another 3-3.5hours to reach the top of the saddle peak. There are only 1-2 eco shades erected that have bamboo seating. Though when we reached here, these sheds and sit-outs were broken. There is a freshwater stream that flows in between some big and small rocks and the roots of the trees that draws water from the rains.
