Diglipur, a large island located in the North Andaman area, is a tourist hotspot and an ecological paradise. The island houses rows of tropical forests, mangroves, and lovely beaches rich in exotic marine life.

The Ross and Smith islands, a 20 minute boat ride from the Aerial Bay jetty, offer tourists a range of outdoor activities like trekking through the tropical forests, scuba diving and snorkelling. One is privy to witnessing wild elephants peacefully roaming around, and during the season, may also be able to see the rare turtle nesting activity.

The Saddle Peak National Park offer tourists the rare opportunity to see wondrous animals such as the Andaman wild pig, Andaman hill myna, Andaman imperial pigeon, water monitor, dolphins, whales and the Saltwater crocodile. The Alfred Caves, an elaborate labyrinth of 42 caves spread across Diglipur can satisfy the desires of the adventurous who are willing to undertake the challenging task of exploring and trekking through these caves. For the tourists looking for a relaxing vacation, the shores of Diglipurs offer many wondrous beaches where one can get lost in the beauty of the sea all day long.
