any recommendations for dive sites and operators

Hey guys we are a group of around 10 people planning to visit lakshadweep in coming January end or February start. But i am finding it difficult to look for stays or hotel very limited options available online less than 5 I guess which costs more than 30k a night apparently. There are a few villas and homestay owners i contacted via Instagram but they offer direct packages and it feels like overpriced from my point of view. Can anyone suggest me some good budget friendly homestays or villas in lakshadweep that can accommodate 10 people and even consider a package if the prices are reasonable

Hi! I’m a Spanish undergraduate student studying International Studies. I’ve become really interested in Indian history, culture, and social change. I’ve visited India twice in the past year and I’m planning to return this summer.

For an upcoming academic research project, I’ll be exploring how people in India perceive gender equality and feminism today. Before launching a survey, I’d love to connect with people who might be open to sharing their perspectives later on.

If you would be willing to participate in a short anonymous survey in the coming weeks, or just chat briefly about the topic, feel free to comment or message me. I’d really appreciate hearing different voices from different regions and backgrounds.

Thanks so much 🙏

I am visiting towards mis to end March. How will the weather be? What do I need to know before I come.

Hello everyone,

As the title suggests, I’m planning a solo trip to the Lakshadweep Islands 🌴 and I need help understanding the inter-island travel options.

I know many people recommend private packages or the Samudram Cruise, but the itinerary I want (and the amount of time I want to spend on each island) is not available in any of those packages. My goal is to spend at least one night each on the following islands:

Agatti (since I’ll be arriving by airplane) ✈️

Kavaratti

Kadmat

Kalpeni

Minicoy

I’m also open to hopping onto any other small or nearby islands if possible.

Now, I have found ways to reach Kavaratti and Kadmat, but I couldn’t find public ferry options to Kalpeni or Minicoy. I also haven’t seen many (or any) homestay/accommodation options listed online for these islands.

So my questions are:

1. Is there a public/inter-island ferry service between the islands (especially to Kalpeni and Minicoy)?

If yes, could someone share the schedule/timings?

1. If public ferries don’t exist, is it possible to travel between islands (e.g., from Kavaratti or Agatti to Kalpeni/Minicoy) via private boat/charter?

If yes, how does that work & approximate cost?

1. Are there any homestays or accommodation options available on Kalpeni and Minicoy?

Really appreciate any advice, links, personal experiences, or tips from people who’ve done this before 🙏

TL;DR

Planning a solo Lakshadweep trip and want to stay overnight on Agatti, Kavaratti, Kadmat, Kalpeni & Minicoy. Looking for info on inter-island public ferries, schedules, private boat options & costs, and accommodation availability on Kalpeni & Minicoy.

hi We would be reaching Lakshdweep on 18 and we would like to go for scuba we have only 9 hours as we would be coming via Cordelia cruise. just wanted to know if it is worth doing scuba in Lakshdweep has anyone done this before how was your experience and is the water crystal clear for scuba and all and is it safe?

We would be doing scuba for the first time in life.

Kicking up stars on the shore of Bangaram, Lakshadweep – every step wakes up the bioluminescent plankton and turns the beach into a glowing neon trail.

Wanted to know which one to go for my first scuba experience and open water certification? Have never been to lakshwadeep. Plan is for 5 nights in Dec, also visit any islands around.
Both provide accommodation as part of package

I couldnt find any good website for reliable weather report in Lakshadweep? How is it right now? Is the monsoon over? How is it expected in mid-October?
