Ross & Smith Twin Islands in Diglipur are connected by a natural sandbar, creating a postcard-perfect beach with crystal-clear turquoise water. Popular for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing; mangrove-fringed shores; turtle sightings; reef fish. Visitors need permits from the Forest Department in Diglipur; boats depart from Aerial Bay jetty. Best visited October–April; the sandbar can vanish at high tide, so plan accordingly. Facilities are minimal—carry water and snacks. Ideal for quiet day trips and photography.

Saddle Peak, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands’ highest point (732 m), offers a rewarding day trek in Diglipur through Saddle Peak National Park’s dense evergreen forests. The trail ascends past streams and towering trees, with chances to spot endemic birds and butterflies. From the summit, enjoy sweeping views of the Andaman Sea, Kalipur, and the twin Ross & Smith Islands. Permits are required; start early, carry ample water, and consider a local guide for this moderately challenging, eco-sensitive hike.

Kalipur Beach in Diglipur, North Andaman, is famed for its turtle nesting grounds, where olive ridley, green, hawksbill and leatherback turtles lay eggs, typically November–March. Visitors can join Forest Department–guided night watch to witness nesting or releases from the hatchery, with strict no-flash, no-touch rules. The quiet, grey-sand shore, mangroves and rocky pools suit sunrise/sunset strolls and photography; snorkeling is better at nearby Craggy Island. Combine with Saddle Peak treks or Ross & Smith Sandbar for a serene, eco-conscious getaway.
