Lakshadweep is India's best-kept tropical secret — a scattering of coral atolls off the Kerala coast ringed by impossibly clear lagoons and untouched white sand. With permit-only access and just a handful of resorts, it's barefoot island calm with reefs to rival the Maldives, at a fraction of the crowds.

Best time to visit Lakshadweep

October to mid-May is the best time to visit Lakshadweep, with calm lagoons and clear water perfect for snorkelling, diving and kayaking. The monsoon (June–September) closes much of the island access as the sea turns rough.

Top things to do in Lakshadweep

  • Snorkel and dive the pristine coral reefs of Agatti and Bangaram
  • Kayak and paddleboard across glassy lagoons
  • Watch the sunset from a deserted white-sand spit
  • Try scuba diving over reefs teeming with fish
  • Take a glass-bottom boat over the coral gardens
  • Learn about island life on Kavaratti
  • Simply switch off on a near-empty beach

Permits and access

Lakshadweep requires an entry permit for all visitors, which we arrange as part of your package. You'll reach the islands by flight to Agatti (from Kochi) or by ship — we handle the paperwork and logistics so you don't have to.

Which island?

Agatti and Bangaram are the main options for tourists, with the clearest lagoons and best diving. We match the island and resort to whether you're after diving, honeymoon calm or a family beach break.

Insider tip: Pack everything you need — the islands are remote and shops are minimal, so bring reef-safe sunscreen, medicines and anything specific in advance.
