One of the world's most spectacular
tropical island systems, Lakshadweep is tucked away at 220-440
km's off the Malabar coast. Lakshadweep is corals, sands,
lagoons, sea and the surf. It is also tranquility personified
and a promise of a holiday experienced only once in a life
time. Perhaps the charm of Lakshadweep islands lies in their
remoteness. Far off the beaten track, they attract no hordes
of merry makers to their shores. Or perhaps it is the beauty
of the islands The island offers a precious heritage of ecology
and culture.

is its coral reef, making it a pristine leisure spot to come
back to 4200 sq km's of lagoon, rich in marine wealth, is
spread over 36 islands in an area of 32 sq. km's. The underwater
view at Lakshadweep is kaleidoscopic and breathtaking. The

thousand islands. Each island is fringed by snow white coral
sands. The crystal clear water and the abundant marine life
enhance the beauty of the island.

of the blue sea, the islands look like emeralds.The huge
shallow calm lagoon on one side with wall like reef made
of marine coral boulders blocks the incoming swells of the
outer sea. The islands are linked to the mainland by ship,
helicopter, Indian Airlines and mechanised sailing wooden
vessels. |
