Diglipur, in the far north of the Andamans, is for travellers who want to go beyond the usual trail. Its star sight is the Ross & Smith twin islands, joined by a natural sandbar you can walk across at low tide, while nearby beaches host turtle nesting and forests rise to Saddle Peak, the archipelago's highest point. Reached by a long but scenic road journey from Port Blair, Diglipur rewards the effort with unspoilt nature. Indian nationals need no permit for the main sights.

Why choose Diglipur

Diglipur is the Andamans off the beaten track: twin islands on a sandbar, nesting turtles, caves and the archipelago's highest peak. It suits travellers happy to trade convenience for wild, uncrowded scenery.

How to reach

Diglipur lies far north of Port Blair, reached by a long road journey of several hours, often broken with an overnight stop. The drive is scenic but takes time, so allow enough days in your itinerary.

Ross & Smith Islands

The highlight is the pair of forested islets connected by a natural white sandbar. At low tide you can walk between them, and the clear shallows are lovely for a swim and snorkel.

Permits for Indian travellers

Indian nationals need no permit for Diglipur's main sights, though certain protected forest and island areas may require a locally arranged permit, which we help coordinate.

Best time to visit

October to May offers the best weather and calm seas. Turtle nesting is seasonal, typically over the cooler winter months, so ask us about timing your trip to catch it.

Who it suits

Diglipur is ideal for nature lovers, trekkers and offbeat explorers rather than those seeking easy, quick beach breaks. Its remoteness is exactly its charm.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.

Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.

The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.

Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
