Diglipur in December
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Go in December — peak turtle nesting season, clear skies, and moderate trekking conditions make it ideal; humidity remains high but sea breezes keep afternoons bearable.
Peak crowds
December is one of Diglipur's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Island trekking and turtle-watching peak Nov–Mar in dry season; monsoon Jun–Sep brings cyclone risk and heavy rainfall.
December at Diglipur is the version that earns the 8-10 hour ferry ride. Air 21-28C, the lowest of the year, with dry trade-wind nights. Olive ridley nesting at Kalipur is at full intensity - Forest Department patrols every 7-9pm guide groups to nests being laid in real time, no flash, hushed approaches only. Saddle Peak trail is at its annual best - cool, dry, leech-free. Ross & Smith dinghy runs every morning for the 9-11am low-tide window. Christmas-NY week drives a 40-50 percent premium on the few homestays - book 30 days minimum. Mobile network unchanged: nothing beyond town, no working ATMs. Carry 20,000 rupees from Port Blair.
