Far from the congested tourist zones, Diglipur is tranquil and pristine and thus a wonderful destination for green tourists and admirers of pristine natural beauty.

Saddle Peak
Towering high at a height of 732 meters, Saddle Peak is the summit of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Situated in the Saddle Peak National Park, the climb to the peak is a journey through dense tropical rainforests, with occasional views of rare plants and animals. The climb is moderately difficult and perfect for adventure seekers and trekkers. At the summit, you are treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding islands and the endless blue ocean. It's a destination that's not to be missed for trekkers and nature enthusiasts who wish to experience the island's rich biodiversity and a serene, uncrowded ascend.

Ross and Smith Islands
Twin islands situated close to Diglipur and connected by a natural sandbar, Ross and Smith Islands are two of the most beautiful locations in North Andaman. The clear turquoise water, powdery white beach, and dense green forest turn this site into a tropical heaven. The sandbar comes and goes with the tide, forming a fairy path of land between islands. It's perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. Reached by a boat from Aerial Bay Jetty, the place is ideal for solitude-seekers, photographers, and nature lovers alike in a less populated environment.

Kalipur Beach
Kalipur Beach, close to Diglipur, has volcanic black sand, peaceful waters, and a turtle nesting area. It is one of the few Andaman beaches where you can spot four species of sea turtles—Olive Ridley, Leatherback, Hawksbill, and Green turtles—during the nesting season making landfall. Although there is swimming to be done, the beach is better enjoyed for its peaceful environment and natural beauty. The best time to visit is early morning and late evening, particularly during nesting season, when you can see the spectacular spectacle of hatchlings emerging and crawling their way to the ocean.
