Travelling by the famous Andaman Trunk Road to Diglipur from Port Blair is highly recommended for the nature-lovers. The whole route is very scenic and passes through several small islands providing an awesome view of lush-green tropical rainforests of Andaman along white-sand beaches and crystal clear waters of the sea. On the way, you will be delighted by the experience of ferries picking and dropping your vehicle from one shore to another; this is how a few islands in this route are connected! An overnight ferry trip from Port Blair is also a great option for those who would love to experience a voyage in open sea. Those looking for luxury may opt for a seaplane journey; however, it is relatively much expensive!
Pristine white-sand beaches at the twin Ross and Smith Islands are amongst the most popular and must-see attractions around Diglipur. Interestingly joined by a natural sand-bar that goes inside the sea at times of high tide and surfaces up again during low tide, the islands provide excellent snorkelling experience in the crystal-clear, gem-green coloured waters. Another great tourist spot near Diglipur is Kalipur Beach at a distance of 18 kilometres. For those who are into adventure, several water-sports are available at the beach, like speedboat, water scooter etc. Animal-lovers can have a wonderful experience of visiting the only place in the world where one can see nesting grounds of four types of sea turtles namely Leatherback, Olive Ridley, Green and HawksBill Turtles!
