Description

Lakshadweep is a group of islands which is located between the Arabian Sea and the Laccadive Sea. Sometimes they are called Laccadive Islands, but geographically it is a name only of the central subgroup of the islands. The name “Lakshadweep” can be translated from Sanskrit (“Lakshadweepa”) as “one hundred thousand islands”. It consists of groups of atolls, coral reefs and 36 islands, which are located at a distance of 400 kilometers from the coast of Kerala. Lakshadweep Islands – one of the most secluded and pristine places on the planet. Lost at sea, far from civilization, these islands are not subjected to outside influence, and therefore the nature here remained untouched. Only 10 of 36 islands are inhabited.Lakshadweep's real attraction lies underwater: the 4200 sq km of pristine archipelago lagoons, unspoilt coral reefs and warm waters are a magnet for scuba divers and snorkellers.
