A
chain of emeralds created by volcanic eruptions in the
Arabian Sea now rests off the Kerala shore. Easily accessible
from Agatti, Lakshadweep Islands with its white
sand beaches, fringed by swaying palm leaves and fresh
water lagoons, bathe under abundant sunshine. Untouched
by industrialization, chirping birds, frothy brooks
and random waves invigorate the atmosphere with natural
sounds that are soothing to the ear as to the mind.
Places to visit on your tour to Lakshadweep:
Bangaram Island - Encircled
by overwhelmingly beautiful coral reefs, the sun drenched
sandy beaches of Bangaram Island with cool breeze and
fresh water lagoons offer an exciting array of adventure
sports. From the milder past times such as snorkeling,
scuba diving and fishing to adrenaline driven
sports such as kayaking, yachting and deep
sea diving.
Travel to Lakshadweep islands is not limited to Bangaram
or adventure sports. You can travel to the inhabited
islands of Kavaratti, Kalpeni, Kadamat and Minicoy
and enjoy similar pleasures there too.
Kavaratti Island - Headquarters
of the Lakshadweep Administration, Kavaratti is the
most developed of all the islands. Apart from its official
significance, it is home to 52 mosques of which Ujra
mosque stands out. People visit the mosque to be
cured by the magical waters of a well nearby. Glass
bottomed boats in the lagoons and the well-stocked
aquatic museum provide insight into the diverse
sea life of the union territory of Lakshadweep.
Kalpeni Island - Kalpeni
forms an atoll with Cherriyam (uninhabited),
Tilakkam and Pitti (small islets). The
enormous storm banks of coral debris distinguish
it from the other islands. Its unique relief feature,
believed to be a result of a violent storm in 1847,
provides for past times such as reef walking. It is
a progressive island where girls first enrolled into
schools.
Kadamat Island - The
variety of fishes available and a visibility of 20-50
meters under water makes this Lakshadweep Island an
unparalleled diving destination for scuba divers.
Coral beaches and fresh water lagoons are ideal for
water sports of all intensity.
Minicoy
Island - An elongated island isolated from other
clusters, to the north of the Lakshadweep chain, Minicoy
has a distinct culture of its own. A cluster of 11 villages,
with elected elders and decorated village houses, lead
a democratic way of life. Built by British in 1885,
a 300-foot tall lighthouse stands guard over
this Lakshadweep Island. You can feast your eyes on
the colorful race boats called 'Jahadhoni' and
the traditional dance form 'Lava' performed during festivals.
Shipping industry and tuna canning factories are a major
source of livelihood.
Agatti Island - The
airport, with regular Air India flights, makes Agatti
Island the gateway to the other Lakshadweep Islands.
It is home to some of the best lagoons the world has
ever seen. On your travel to the Lakshadweep Islands
you will see one of the most breathtaking sights. That
