 Places to Visit in Diglipur Island

The largest town in North Andaman Islands is the gorgeous town of Diglipur. However, it remains unexplored by many due to its distance from other famous tourist destinations, like Port Blair and Havelock Island. Nonetheless, it is this distance that makes the journey to Diglipur Island a fascinating and adventurous one. 

So if you have added Diglipur Island to your itinerary of the Andaman Islands trip and do not how to reach the place, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. In this blog, we have shared all the possible ways for the same. Keep reading to find out.

Reaching Port Blair

To reach Diglipur Island, you will first be required to arrive at Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman Islands. You can book a direct flight from cities like Chennai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Kolkata. For travelling by air from other cities, you need to take a connecting flight. 

Travelling from Port Blair to Diglipur Island by Road

Once you have arrived in Port Blair, you can travel to Diglipur Island by road through various modes of transport.

  1. Private Buses

Most private buses are air-conditioned and take nearly 12 hours to reach Diglipur Island from Port Blair. Oftentimes, the journeys begin around 4:30 in the morning. You can also take a non-air-conditioned private bus for a cheaper deal but it will be less comfortable. The tickets can be booked online through verified tour operators. 

  1. Government-Operated Buses

Government-operated buses take 10 to 12 hours to reach Diglipur Island and are non-air-conditioned. The tickets can be bought from the bus depot in Port Blair. However, the cheap prices of these tickets lead to high demand, which can make it difficult for you to get tickets. Further, if you are traveling during the peak season, we recommend you not rely on these and rather go for a private bus.

  1. Private Taxi

The most expensive yet most comfortable way to reach Diglipur Island from Port Blair is through a private cab. You can book these in advance or hire one on spot upon arrival in the capital city.

Also, the tickets can be bought a maximum of two days in advance and the islanders are prioritized. So in case you are travelling during the off-season, it is easy to get a ticket but during the peak time, we recommend you not depend on this mode of transport for reaching Diglipur Island.

  • About

    A postcard-perfect beach destination adorned with a cluster of 572 islets, Andaman is a little slice of paradise. What comes to mind when we talk about Andaman are images of picturesque islands, gorgeous beaches, azure skies and meandering trails. Floating in the Bay of Bengal, the archipelago lies in the east of the Indian mainland. From plush flora and fauna to rich history and heritage, Andaman is simply a feast for one’s eyes. Merely 36 islands are inhabited, and even fewer are open to tourists. Some islands are home to several indigenous tribes who have zero contact with the outside-world.

    Blessed with beautiful topography, the underwater action, tropical rain-forests, island hopping, white sand beaches and tranquil ambiance, Andaman makes for an ideal getaway for all kinds of travelers. For those who enjoy an adrenaline-filled action, this is the right place to be. An aquatic adventure such as snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, undersea walking, speed boating, and kayaking is at your fingertips. A treasure trove of exquisite vistas, Andaman is full of things that can make you go gaga and lives up to the hype.

    Travelers arrive at Port Blair as domestic flights from all the major cities to the capital continue to be the best way to reach the island. If you look at the map closely, Port Blair lies in the Southern island of Andaman. Trace your finger all the way to the north, and halt at the island named Diglipur. A pre-eminent destination for ecotourism, Diglipur is the largest town in the northern province of the Andamanarchipelago.

    Famed highlights such as Ross & Smith Islands, Kalipur Beach, Ramnagar Beach, Alfred cave, Saddle Peak; all of them perfectly complement each other to create the magical realm of Diglipur. Whether looking for an active or sedentary time up here at this island, Diglipur provides a backdrop to admire from afar, or run headfirst into and explore. Diglipur boasts of abundant greenery and captivating marine life and is bound to leave visitors overwhelmed. The temperature here ranges between 23°C – 31°C, which accounts for pleasant weather throughout the year.

    Diglipur, the hidden gem of Andamans, is an amalgamation of diversity, in its landscape as well as its portrait. Inhabitants include people from Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala offering a unique cultural experience. The two primary occupations in this island are cultivation and fisheries. The peak tourist season in North Andamans is between November and March. Buses between PortBlair and Diglipur run in the morning. There are three refreshing breaks in the journey during which travelers need to cross the creeks using vehicle ferries.

    Nestled at an elevation of 43m above sea level, it is roughly 298 kilometers from Port Blair. Owing to its distance from the popular tourist hot spots of Andaman, the island often gets unnoticed by travelers who have little time on their hands. But perhaps, this is the reason that

    • Places to Visit in Diglipur Island

      Experiences offered in Diglipur are rare, incredible and worth the effort. Travelers who make this long journey far north are in for a treat.

      From scaling the highest peak in the Bay of Bengal to witnessing an active mud volcano, hiking the cluster of extraordinary 41 limestone caves, observing sea turtles nest or the hatchlings discovering the clear waters for the first time, Diglipur is a treasure trove for all. With so much to indulge in, travelers often visit Diglipur with snorkeling gear, trekking shoes and time on their hands. In the land of sun and sea, pursue swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, trekking, island hopping and so much-more.

    Ross & Smith Islands or “Twin-islands” are two separate entities that are connected by a natural sandbar. Visible during low tides, the crescent-shaped “Sandbar Beach” gets submerged during high tide. Surrounded by lush greenery and emerald water, the island also boasts of a marine sanctuary making it the ideal place to spot beautiful corals.

    Saddle Peak, at the ascent of 732m, is the highest point in the Bay of Bengal and overlooks the glorious coasts of North and Middle Andaman. Surrounded by Saddle Peak National Park, the trail is steep and 8 kilometers long. There are three viewpoints on this trek, and the intermediate one offers a bird’s eye view of the neighboring islands.

    To witness turtle nesting and hatching in Andamans, head to the Aamkunj beach, Dhaninallah beach or Karmatang, also known as the ‘Turtle Paradise’ of India. Weather plays an influential role during the nesting season. Female turtles approach the sandy beaches and begin digging a hole, where they later nest hundreds of-eggs.

    Diglipur is home to a cluster of limestone caves, or as it’s rightly called “Alfred Caves”. A trek through the jungle leads you to the natural habitats of Swiftlet birds which nest in these caves. Their edible nests are quite famed and valued in the world. Roughly 40 kilometers north of Diglipur, active muddy craters can be found. A mud volcano is a natural spectacle and is caused by the eruption of hot mud, slurries, gases and water from the ground. These are not textbook volcanoesastheydonotemitlavaandarenotnecessarilydrivenbymagmaticactivity.

    Andaman Islands FAQs

    • Q1.   What is the geographical location of Diglipur?

      Diglipur is a quirky little town that is considered a hidden gem of North Andaman. It is situated on the northernmost tip of the island chain. Owing to its remoteness from the rest of the Andamans, the town is off the tourist trail. You can reach Diglipur via Andaman Trunk Road or by a ten-hour voyage via ships.

    • Q2.   Should I include Diglipur in my Andamans’ itinerary?

      You should visit Diglipur if you are willing to see the ingenious version of the Andaman Islands. This town is a serene parallel world that is mostly unnoticed. The town has lodges, a vegetable and fish market, a temple, bakeries, and a water stream filled with hyacinth. If you don’t like crowds, then it is an ideal place as tourists are a rare sight here.

    • Q3.   Which are the must-visit beaches in Diglipur?

      Diglipur is home to gorgeous beaches. The most beautiful beaches here are as follows:

      • Ram Nagar Beach

      This beach is a long stretch of palm trees fringed by mangrove forests on both sides. The bay doesn’t have the typical light blue turquoise colors because the grayish volcanic sand makes the sea look darker. The place is not good for snorkeling owing to the murky waters but is a perfect spot for swimming. It is considered to be the best around the town. 

      The beach is a nesting ground for Olive Ridley turtles. Therefore, the beach closes at 5 pm and no one is allowed to walk on the sand afterward. You can also see an artificial hatchery set up there. The turtle nesting season is between December and March, and you can see eggs being laid by sea turtles and released into the water. The beach is being developed into an eco-friendly picnic place for visitors by the forest department. 

      • Lamiya Bay Beach

      The gorgeous Lamiya Bay Beach is at the foothills of the highest peak on the island—Saddle Peak. The beauty of the dazzling beach is further accentuated by the polished pebbles that are laid down on the shoreline. The beach is visited mostly by either honeymooners or nature lovers as it is a highly photographic beach with shrubs and trees displaying contrast. To savor the beauty of sun, sand and shade on a sunny and bright day, there are beautiful eco-friendly huts and watchtowers on the shoreline for the tourists. 

      • Kalipur Beach

      Located behind the tranquil village of Kalipur, you can easily reach Kalipur Beach by taking a local bus from the main Diglipur bazaar. It is majorly popular for observing turtle nesting and that too four different species of sea turtles (Olive Ridley, Leather Back, Hawksbill, and Green Turtles), who come here to nest their eggs. The government has built a hatchery there for this purpose. If you are fortunate, then you can see turtles laying their eggs late at night as well as baby turtles being set free into the ocean early in the morning.

      Kalipur Beach features volcanic grey colored sand and crystal clear water. It is an ideal place for swimming and snorkeling. Jellyfish are found in abundance here. Owing to sand flies, sunbathing is not recommended. During the time of low tides, the beach appears to be grim dead corals breaking the surface and a few mangrove trees embracing the shore.

Trekking through its dense forests will make you witness a unique scientific phenomenon called the mud volcanoes (locally known as Jal Tikry). Some of them have been dormant for some time now while others are active for years. This site is something very rare and unique. You should include it in your travel bucket list for sure.
