2 Days in Diglipur for a Solo Escape
Diglipur is the quiet, less-touristy part of the Andamans where you can truly unwind. It's perfect if you want to step away from the crowds and enjoy nature at its rawest. The beaches are empty, the forests are lush, and the pace is slow—just what you need for a solo recharge. I loved how peaceful it felt, with just the sound of waves and birds for company.

Day 1 in Diglipur
Kick off your Diglipur adventure with its most iconic spots—starting with the stunning Ross and Smith Islands, followed by a visit to the mystical limestone caves, and ending with a peaceful sunset at Ramnagar Beach.
Activities
Ross and Smith Islands
These twin islands connected by a natural sandbar are Diglipur’s crown jewels. The crystal-clear water and untouched beaches make it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The sandbar disappears during high tide, so timing your visit is key.

Limestone Caves
A short trek through dense forest leads to these ancient caves filled with stunning stalactites and stalagmites. The local guide’s stories about the caves’ formation and tribal legends add to the experience.
- Wear sturdy shoes—the path can be slippery.
- No flash photography inside the caves.
Sunset at Ramnagar Beach
A quiet, lesser-known beach where you can unwind after a day of exploration. The black sand and crashing waves make for a dramatic sunset backdrop. Locals often gather here for evening strolls.
- Try fresh coconut water from the beachside vendors.
- Stay till dusk—the sky turns incredible shades of orange.

Day 2
Diglipur Nature & Culture Day
A mix of nature and local culture, exploring Diglipur's lesser-known gems and authentic experiences.
Activities
Saddle Peak Trek
Start your day early with a trek to Saddle Peak, the highest point in the Andamans. The trail winds through dense tropical forests, offering glimpses of rare birds and occasional wild elephants. The view from the top is breathtaking—rolling hills meeting the turquoise sea. It's a moderate trek, so wear sturdy shoes and carry water.
- Hire a local guide for wildlife spotting
- Carry snacks—no shops on the trail
Visit to Pathi Level Village
After the trek, head to Pathi Level Village to experience the local Karen community's way of life. These Burmese-origin settlers are known for their traditional woodcrafts and farming. You can chat with locals, see their handicrafts, and even try your hand at weaving or bamboo craft. It's a quiet, unhurried glimpse into island life.
- Ask before taking photos—some elders prefer privacy
- Try the local betel nut if offered
Evening at Kalipur Beach
Unlike the more touristy beaches, Kalipur is where locals go to unwind. The black sand and quiet vibe make it perfect for a relaxed evening. If you're lucky, you might spot nesting turtles (seasonal). Stay for the sunset—it's less crowded than Ramnagar but just as stunning.
- Carry a mat—limited seating
- Try fresh coconut from beachside vendors
