Description

Located approximately 325 km from Port Blair, Diglipur is a paradise for travellers seeking nature, adventure, and peaceful surroundings away from the crowded tourist hubs of South Andaman. Known for its rich biodiversity, lush forests, scenic coastline, and unique natural attractions, Diglipur is one of the most rewarding destinations in the Andaman Islands. The highlight of Diglipur is the world-famous Ross & Smith Islands, two picturesque islands connected by a naturally formed white sandbar that appears during low tide. Surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs, these twin islands offer breathtaking views, swimming, photography, and an unforgettable island experience. Adventure enthusiasts can explore Saddle Peak National Park, home to the highest peak in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The trek to Saddle Peak passes through dense evergreen forests rich in endemic flora and fauna before rewarding visitors with spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding islands and the Bay of Bengal. Another popular attraction is Kalipur Beach, one of the best-known turtle nesting sites in Andaman. During the nesting season, visitors may witness Olive Ridley, Green Sea Turtle, Hawksbill, and Leatherback turtles arriving on the shore. The region also offers opportunities for birdwatching, eco-tourism, and experiencing the untouched natural beauty of North Andaman. Diglipur is also known for its peaceful beaches, local villages, agricultural landscapes, and fresh seafood. Although the journey from Port Blair is longer than other destinations, the scenic road trip along the Andaman Trunk Road or the ferry journey makes the experience even more memorable. Whether you're planning an adventurous trekking expedition, an island-hopping holiday, or a relaxing escape into nature, Diglipur offers a unique combination of pristine beaches, tropical forests, wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes, making it one of the most extraordinary destinations in the Andaman Islands.
