When you think of the Andaman Islands, it’s usually turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and scuba diving that come to mind. But there’s a hidden, wild side to this tropical paradise — its dense jungles, hilly terrains, and offbeat trekking trails.
If you’re an adventurer at heart, trekking in the Andamans is a must-do. At My Tour Guru, we believe the best memories come from stepping off the beaten path. That’s why our curated Andaman tour packages include more than just beach-hopping — we help you uncover the lush, untouched interiors of the islands too.
Why Trek in the Andamans?
The Andaman Islands are home to dense tropical forests, unique biodiversity, and ancient tribal heritage. Trekking here means walking through quiet jungle trails, crossing streams, spotting rare birds, and reaching viewpoints that offer breathtaking panoramas of the sea and surrounding islands.
It’s not just a hike — it’s a chance to reconnect with nature.
