Lakshadweep union territory of India-The name itself means ‘a hundred thousand islands’. Some big, some small, some far, some near. Some inhabited and some not. The dazzlingly beautiful coral archipelago of Lakshadweep is one of the most secluded beach destinations in India. Covered by a carpet of lush coconut palms, fringed by silvery white sand bordering an ocean where the color of water ranges from the palest aquamarine to the deepest sapphire, these exotic islands are the perfect hideaway for those who enjoy the barefoot life. Located off the coast of Cochin, Lakshadweep islands are bestowed with miles of heavenly sun-kissed beaches devoid of the crowds, magnificent lagoon, and turquoise blue water brimming with colorful aquatic life.
