 When it comes to pristine tropical destinations, the Maldives often steals the spotlight. However, nestled in the azure waters of the Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep stands as a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. With its untouched beauty and unique experiences, this archipelago of 36 islands offers a slice of paradise that rivals its more popular counterpart. Here are five exotic things you cannot afford to miss in Lakshadweep.

1. Dive into the Emerald Waters: Lagoon Bliss in Kalpeni

In comparison, while the Maldives is renowned for its coral reefs Lakshadweep has a different kind of underwater allure. Kalpeni is one of the islands in the archipelago that has a beautiful lagoon. The lagoon here is a snorkeler’s dream thanks to the crystal clear emerald waters filled with colorful marine life. Dive down in shallow waters, and there is a kaleidoscope of coral structures surrounding you along with the school’s colourful fishes. There are few people there; no large crowds of tourists ensure that everyone can feel close to the marine life in a way which is not achievable elsewhere.

2. Cruise to the Coral Paradise: Kavaratti’s Coral Reefs


While Lakshadweep is popular for overwater bungalows, Kavaratti in the territory presents a spell-binding alternative. Start a coral safari and sail through the shallow waters around this island to witness the spectral effects of its coral gardens. The colourful corals and the variety of marine creatures make it a unique experience that can compete with, or even surpass some underwater wonders elsewhere. The soft splashing of the waves on your boat creates a soothing backdrop to this watery escapade.

3. Mesmerizing Beach Camping: Kadmat Island’s Tranquil Nights


Maldives offers magnificent overwater villas, but Lakshadweep gives you an equally enchanting experience – beach camping under the starry sky. Camp under a twilight sky on Kadmat Island, which boasts of its virgin white sandy beaches. So, lying in the soft sand and having the sound of waves as a lullaby for you to sleep at night, will make it possible for you to watch an endless sky full of stars. This simple experience, free of the noisy resorts lets you interact with nature more intimately.

4. Minicoy’s Cultural Odyssey: A Slip into Tradition and History

While the Maldives is well-known for its opulent resorts, Minicoy in Lakshadweep provides a rich cultural tapestry, which is a different kind of grandeur. This island, which is frequently called the “Maldives of India,” is rich in culture and history. Discover the charming villages and their distinctive Laccadive-Malayali culture, which is typified by colourful clothing and lively dance traditions. Constructed in 1885, the recognizable lighthouse bears witness to the island’s maritime past. Talk to the welcoming residents, enjoy regional food, and experience a little bit of Lakshadweep’s true charm.

 

5. Water Sports Extravaganza on Agatti Island: Adventure Among the Atolls

Go no farther than Lakshadweep’s Agatti Island if you’re looking for adventure. Although the Maldives could provide water sports, Agatti raised it a notch higher. Surrounded by an amazing coral atoll, this island is a paradise for people enjoying the water. Activities range from kayaking over the mangrove to windsurfing in turquoise waters at Agatti. Dive through the colourful coral gardens or cast your line into deep-sea waters – all is possible in a sea as vast as eternity.
