Discover North Andaman
Diglipur is an appealing destination for travellers ready to explore beyond the standard Sri Vijaya Puram–Havelock–Neil route. Forested hills, quieter coastlines, trekking opportunities and offshore islands reward a slower itinerary with adequate transport buffers.
Ross and Smith Twin Islands
Reached by authorised boat from the Aerial Bay area, Ross and Smith are famous for a natural sandbar that links the two islands at suitable tides. The sandbar’s visibility changes with tidal conditions. Applicable Forest Department permissions and boat operations must be confirmed.
Saddle Peak National Park
Saddle Peak is associated with one of the islands’ notable forest trekking experiences. Access, guide requirements, weather and fitness considerations should be checked in advance. Stay on authorised routes and avoid disturbing wildlife.
Kalipur Beach and Lamiya Bay
These coastal areas offer a different landscape from the busy southern island circuit. Beach conditions, access and any seasonal wildlife protection rules take priority over swimming or sightseeing plans.
Other North Andaman Experiences
A longer trip may include forest viewpoints, quiet villages and other permitted nature stops. Confirm opening and transport arrangements individually; distances on the map can understate actual travel time.
How to Reach Diglipur
Travel from Sri Vijaya Puram commonly involves a long road journey through Middle and North Andaman, or available government vessel services when operating. Plan at least one overnight stay and allow extra time for onward transfers.
Suggested Two- or Three-Day Plan
Day one: arrive and settle in. Day two: plan Ross and Smith with tide, permit and boat confirmation. Day three: consider a suitable trek or coastal excursion before the return journey. A short one-day round trip from the capital is not practical for most travellers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ross Island here the same as the historic Ross Island? No.Is the sandbar always visible? No, it depends on the tide.
