Saddle Peak National Park

Saddle Peak National Park is a protected national park surrounding Saddle Peak, the highest peak in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands at 732 metres, located near Diglipur on North Andaman Island. Notified in 1979 and declared a national park in 1987, it covers about 85 sq km of tropical evergreen and moist deciduous forest. The park is notable for its endemic flora and fauna, trekking trail to the summit, and panoramic views of the coastline.

Visitors can expect a dense tropical evergreen and deciduous forest reserve centered on Saddle Peak. Access is via an 8 km trekking trail from Lamiya Bay through forested slopes to the summit viewpoint. The area offers natural forest scenery, bird and wildlife viewing, and coastal views from higher elevations. There are no built structures inside except forest check posts and trail markers. The visit is primarily a guided nature trek with limited facilities.
