Lakshadweep is India's own coral paradise – turquoise lagoons, white sand and some of the clearest water in the country, without leaving India. Snorkel and dive among coral reefs at Agatti and Bangaram, try kayaking and glass-bottom boats in Kavaratti, and spend lazy days on near-empty beaches at Thinnakara and Kalpitty.
Most trips are 3 to 5 nights based on one or two islands, or a cruise that visits several islands. Accommodation is limited and simple-to-premium, so book early for the October to May season. We arrange the entry permit, flights and island transfers with every package.
Lakshadweep tour FAQs
Do I need a permit to visit Lakshadweep?
Yes. Every visitor, including Indian citizens, needs an entry permit. Apply at least 14 days before travel with your exact dates and the islands you will visit. Since May 2026 a local sponsor and police clearance certificate are no longer needed – we prepare and submit the permit with your package.
How much does a Lakshadweep trip cost?
Our Lakshadweep packages start from ₹13,800 per person on twin sharing, including taxes and GST. Island choice, resort and flight availability make the biggest difference, so book early.
How do I reach Lakshadweep?
Fly to Kochi, which has direct flights from all major Indian cities, then take the short flight from Kochi to Agatti. From Agatti, boats connect to Bangaram, Thinnakara and other islands. The Samudram cruise from Kochi is another way to see several islands.
What is the best time to visit Lakshadweep?
October to May is the best time, with calm seas and the best visibility for snorkelling and diving. June to September is the monsoon, when seas are rough and many activities stop.
Which island should I choose in Lakshadweep?
Agatti is the easiest base with the airport and good snorkelling, Bangaram is for quiet luxury, and Kavaratti has the most water sports. Thinnakara and Kalpitty are best for a peaceful beach stay.
