Lakshadweep is a group of islands in the Laccadive Sea, 200 to 440 km (120 to 270 mi) off the southwestern coast of India. Lakshadweep means "one hundred thousand islands" in Sanskrit and Malayalam. They were also known as Laccadive Islands, although geographically this is only the name of the central subgroup of the group. One of world’s most spectacular tropical island systems, Lakshadweep is tucked away at 220-440Kms off the Kerala Coast. The islands offer a precious heritage of ecology and culture. The unique feature of the Islands is its coral reef, making it a pristine leisure spot to come back to. 4200 sq. kms. of lagoon, rich in marine wealth, is spread over 36 islands in an area of 32 sq. kms. The underwater view at Lakshadweep is kaleidoscopic and breathtaking. The lagoon offers excellent potential for water sports like swimming, wind-surfing, diving, snorkeling and kayaking. No wonder, Lakshadweep is fast becoming India’s one of its kind Adventure sport – Nature Tourism location.

Things you need to know about Lakshadweep :
  • There are no sharks in Lakshadweep, hence it is safe for diving
  • The locals are well off and content in their life and are unanimous in keeping Lakshadweep pollution free. They don’t want to see it converting into a major tourist attraction.
  • They treat men & women equally. I saw women working on night shifts and even working as a guard.
  • The images on google exactly depict how it looks. Even photoshop cannot beautify it more.
  • A trip to Lakshadweep is expensive. One has to shell out up to 2000 AUD (including air fare) per head.
  • This is the closest to nature I have ever been. This place is unexploited and I sincerely hope it remains that way.
  • People from different parts of the world come here for diving courses.
  • No matter how long you want to stay, you have to optimize as accommodation is quite expensive (minimum 120 AUD per night).
  • There is nothing to buy from here. You experience is enough to take back home as a souvenir. Take a lot of pics.
Some facts about Lakshadweep :
  • Lakshadweep comes from β€œLakshadweepa” which means β€œone hundred thousand Islands”. Only 10 of these are inhabited. 8 of then being Agatti, Kadmat, Kavaratti, Kalpeni, Bangaram, Thinnakara, Minicoy, Amindivi.
  • Majority of the people in Lakshadweep are Muslims speaking Jeseri, Malayalam or Mahl as their local language.
  • Entry Permit – Every person who is not a native of these Islands has to apply for a permit to visit Lakshadweep. Government officials & Armed Force Members, working/visiting these Islands along with their family are exempted from this requirement.
  • Foreign tourists having valid passport & visa for visiting India can visit Agatti, Kadmat & Bangaram Islands with permission of Administration.
  • The tourism of Lakshadweep is new, with Bangaram Island opening for International tourism in 1974. Till date only foreign tourists are allowed on this Island.
  • Indian tourists started visiting these Islands from 1983.
  • Lakshadweep gives you one of the best diving experiences in the world.
