How to Reach?

Lakshadweep Island can be reached by flight from
Kochi or Trivandrum, however, frequency of the
flight is limited. Alternatively, you can also visit the
island via cruise which covers more than 1 island.

Best Time to visit Lakshadweep

Winter time, Nov-Feb is the best time to visit the
island. Being on Southern side, it is very hot and
humit throughout the year. From June to September,
Bangaram Island is closed due to monsoon.

What type of accommodation is available?

Every island has different options of accomodation
available. We stayed at Bangaram which has air
conditioned cottages. Apart from that, islands like
Kadmat and Kavaratti have tents available which
can significantly reduce your cost of stay. If you visit
Lakshadweep via cruise, then your accomodation
will be in the cruise.

What are the things to do?

Lakshadweep being an island offers all the activities
that an island can offer. Right from relaxing on the
beach to enjoying the sunsets and sunrises, you can
go cycling around the island. Besides, there are
many water sport options from scuba diving to
snorkelling to kayaking. You can also go for random
dips into the ocean at any time of the day.Â

How many days do you require?

We would generally recommend 4-5 days so that
you can spend 3 to 4 days on the island and allow 1
day for travel. If you love islands, I would
recommend longer stays as it is amazingly relaxing
and there are loads of activities you can indulge in.Â

What about food?

There are plenty of food options available. If you opt
for stay at Bangaram, the package includes food as
well. The food is not just tasty but the ambience is
amazing. Every evening, you will have dinner by the
sea with private reserved tables right besides the
ocean.
