One of the world’s most spectacular tropical island systems, Lakshadweep is tucked away at 220-240 kms. off the Malabar Coast. The islands comprise of 4200 sq.km. of lagoon rich in marine wealth ad 36 islands in an area of 32 sq.km. 

 Each island here is fringed by snow white coral sands.  The crystal clear water and the rich marine flora and fauna enhance the mystique of these islands. Against the vast blue sea the islands look like emeralds.  The huge wall like reef bordering the outer side of the shallow lagoons blocks the incoming swells of the sea.

The Lakshadeep islands are linked to the mainland by ships & passenger planes.  Agatti island and Bangaram island can be reached by Air and the others by ship from Kochi (Cochin).  The temperature increases from South to North; April and May are the hottest with temperatures averaging at 32° C. 

By several accounts, the cultural and geographical affinities of Lakshadweep are closely linked to Sri Lanka, Kerala, Maldives and Tamil Nadu.  The whole group of islands is one vast coconut garden with 100 trees crowded per acre.  There are no boundaries between individual plots and almost no ground vegetables.  The houses are spread out throughout the islands.
 
Each island of Lakshadweep, a tiny principality in itself, has existed from time immemorial, with little influence from the outside world.
