LAKSHADWEEP ISLANDS

The Lakshadweep Islands are probably some of the most beautiful in the world. Almost completely untouched by tourism and modernity, Lakshadweep Islands have a remote pristine splendor. Apart from engaging students in elementary water sports we shall get to take a close look at the culture and way of life of the people of Lakshadweep.

The waters around the islands are relatively shallow and placid due to coral barriers around them which make them very safe for swimming and water sports.
