While many visitors reach Elephant Beach via boat, trekking enthusiasts can opt for the jungle trail through Havelock's wilderness. This 45-minute trek takes you through fascinating mangroves and forest paths.
This scenic trek starts from Chidiya Tapu Beach and ascends through thick forests and rugged coastlines, leading to Kala Pahad, a towering black cliff overlooking the Andaman Sea.
At 732 meters, Saddle Peak is the highest point in the Andamans. The trek takes you through lush evergreen forests home to diverse flora and fauna, with panoramic views from the summit.
This 16 km trail meanders through densely forested hills, showcasing diverse flora and fauna, including several exotic bird species, butterflies, and wild animals.
The trek to these geological wonders starts after a boat ride through mangrove forests. The 15-20 minute walk through dense forests leads to intricate limestone formations millions of years old.
This network of 22 interconnected caves offers a truly off-the-beaten-path experience. Walk through dark passages opening into large chambers rich in stalactites and stalagmites.
One of Havelock's best-kept secrets, this beach is accessible only by trekking through forested interiors. The relatively easy trail leads to a secluded and peaceful beach experience away from crowds.
The best time for trekking is from October to May when the weather is pleasant. December and January are peak months with ideal conditions. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) as trails can be slippery and visibility poor.
Most regular treks don't require special permission. However, some protected areas or tribal reserve zones may require permits which your guide can arrange. Always check with local authorities or your tour operator.
While some easy trails can be done independently, we highly recommend guides for most treks. Local guides know the terrain well, can spot wildlife, ensure safety, and share interesting insights about the flora and fauna.
You may spot various bird species, butterflies, and occasionally wild pigs or monitor lizards. The Andamans are home to unique endemic species. Remember to observe wildlife from a distance and avoid disturbing them.
Difficulty varies widely. Beach treks like Elephant Beach are relatively easy, while Saddle Peak and Mount Harriet are more challenging. Most treks are manageable for people with average fitness levels when properly prepared.
