Lakshadweep, meaning 'a hundred thousand islands', is India's smallest Union Territory and a hidden gem of the Arabian Sea. Comprising 36 coral islands, this archipelago offers pristine lagoons, vibrant marine life, and untouched beaches that rival the world's best tropical destinations. From scuba diving in Kavaratti to relaxing on the white sands of Agatti, Lakshadweep is a haven for water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers.
With its eco-friendly resorts and sustainable tourism practices, Lakshadweep promises an exclusive and rejuvenating escape from the mainland hustle.
