Getting Around in Diglipur

2026 Edition

Plan Transport in Advance
Diglipur is a remote destination with limited public transport options. Local buses and shared jeeps run on fixed schedules and can be infrequent, especially in the early morning or late evening. For first-time travelers, it’s advisable to arrange transport—like private cabs or bike rentals—a day in advance to avoid delays. Booking in advance is especially important during peak tourist seasons when availability is limited.

Getting Around in Diglipur

Getting around Diglipur and its scattered attractions is time and sometimes can be nerve-consuming, especially if you are traveling on a budget. There are crowded but cheap local buses available. These buses are few and if you miss one prepare for a long wait till the next one. The majority of the sights are quite far away and traveling on a bus can take up to one day for one attraction. Shared public jeeps are another faster option but again, these are pricier and not always easily available.
We suggest that those who want to travel in comfort either book a scooter (talk to the accommodation you are staying at) or hire a car with a driver

The whole of north Andaman has turtle nesting sites protected by the forest department.
