Description

Diglipur is located about 325 km from Port Blair and is the largest town in North Andaman. Known for its untouched beauty and rich biodiversity, Diglipur offers a completely different experience compared to the more popular southern islands. One of the major attractions here is Ross and Smith Islands, famous for its unique natural sandbar connecting two islands, allowing visitors to walk from one island to another during low tide. This breathtaking phenomenon makes it one of the most picturesque locations in the Andaman Islands. Diglipur is also home to Saddle Peak National Park, which houses the highest point in the Andaman Islands. Trekking to Saddle Peak is a popular activity for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts, offering panoramic views and dense tropical forest experiences. Another highlight is Kalipur Beach, known for turtle nesting, where species like Olive Ridley, Green Turtle, and Leatherback turtles can be spotted during nesting season. The area is rich in marine life and offers serene beaches ideal for relaxation. Diglipur can be reached via road and ferry from Port Blair, though the journey is long. However, the untouched beauty, peaceful environment, and unique attractions make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a raw and authentic Andaman experience.
