Be warned. There are some thing that are really hard to
find in Lakshadweep. Like fast cars, or shrinks, or tranquilizers. They do
have all that water though. Bright and clear as liquid glass. Fringed by
white stretches of sand where the only throngs you'll ever see are of the
sandpipers on the shore. And you could sleep by the seaside with the night
sky as your ceiling. Therapy has never felt better.
Geographically similar to that other divers' haunt, Lakshadweep is like
Maldives without the crowds. 400 kilometers off the coast of Kerala, this
group of 36 coral islands and atolls can be reached by a twenty - hour sea
journey from Cochin. Of the ten inhabited islands, only two, Bangaram and
Kadmat, are open to foreigners and there are dive centers on both these
islands. The langoons are home to a spectacular world of marine life, so
unexplored, you may well have a site named after you.
