Lakshadweep

Islands of Lakshadweep


Kalpeni Islands
Kalpeni has three uninhabited satellite islands, all surrounded by an immense lagoon of spectacular beauty. Sunlight on the water causes it to sparkle and flash like a million aquamarines. Koomel, the gently curving bay where the tourist facilities are located, directly overlooks Pitti and Thilakkam, two of the islands. Here you can swim, reef walk, snorkel or use water sports equipment like kayaks, and sail boats. Now the tourist facilities have been augmented and tourists can stay on the island in privately managed huts, depending on the package. This lagoon is specially rich in coral life. Miniocoy Island
Furthest from Kavaratti island, 200 Km. away to the south and also nearer to the Maldives, Minicoy has a lighthouse built by the British in 1885. Visitors are allowed up, right to the very top. Words cannot do justice to the incredible size of the lagoon, one of the largest in Lakshadweep, the green of coconut trees, and the mirror-like surface of an inland lake as it nestles in one corner of the island.

Agati Island
Agati island is just 2.7 Sq Kms and has one of the most beautiful lagoons in Lakshadweep. The airport is built on this island. From the aircraft, as you approach for a landing, you get a breath-taking view of the airstrip on the island. Agati is the virtual gateway to the islands. Indian Airlines operates daily (except Sunday) flights to Agatti making it one of the most accessible islands in Lakshadweep.
The only resort on this tiny island is Agati beach resort, located in the silver sand beaches of Agatti island and is facing the vast stretch of light green lagoon.
The water sports available at this resort are Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, Canoeing, Deep Sea fishing, Glass bottom boat sail.
