HOW TO REACH DIGLIPURThe Brief
To reach Diglipur, Andaman & Nicobar Islands: By Air: Port Blair (IXZ) is the primary gateway; a seasonal helicopter service (Pawan Hans) runs Port Blair-Diglipur (~1 hr) when operating. By Road: Andaman Trunk Road (ATR), 290 km from Port Blair — 6-8 hrs in a private vehicle (convoy through Jarawa Tribal Reserve required), 12 hrs by public ATR bus. By Road: Ferry service Port Blair-Diglipur is irregular and not always operating; we do not recommend planning around it. By Private Fleet: Private vehicle with permit-compliance for the Jarawa Reserve crossing — convoy times are fixed; we plan around them.

The recommended approach
For most Diglipur missions we route via Air — Port Blair (IXZ) is the primary gateway; a seasonal helicopter service (Pawan Hans) runs Port Blair-Diglipur (~1 hr) when operating. Arrival is timed against the November – April window and a recommended stay of 2–3 nights, so the first day absorbs travel fatigue without losing prime sightseeing hours. The chauffeur and vehicle are pre-positioned; there is no transfer scramble on arrival.
Onward continuity
Reaching Diglipur is rarely the end point — it is a node in the Andaman Islands. The same GPS-tracked vehicle and chauffeur continue seamlessly into the wider circuit (Andaman Islands region, Elite chauffeured fleet, Expert heritage guides), so there is no re-booking, no handover gap, and no renegotiating logistics mid-trip. Inter-leg permits and timing are handled before you travel.
