Pack your bags and grab your sunscreen because we’re whisking you away to India! Among these gems lies India’s very own mini-Maldives – Lakshadweep! Tucked away in the Arabian Sea, this union territory boasts twelve stunning islands, three sand banks, and five underwater banks. The name Lakshadweep, derived from Malayalam and Sanskrit, translates to ‘a hundred thousand islands’ – a fitting description for this paradise on earth. With just 32 sq km of area, it’s India’s tiniest Union Territory, but don’t let its size fool you; the archipelago of 36 islands packs a punch when it comes to natural beauty and charm.

So, here’s the scoop you can hop on a plane from Kochi or Bangalore to get there. Or, if you’re feeling like a pirate of the Indian Ocean, take a ferry from Kochi. Warning: it’s a 20-hour voyage, so pack your sea legs and maybe a parrot for company! Before you dream of diving into azure waters, you’ll need a permit to enter this paradisiacal wonderland. Weather report: sunny with a chance of pure bliss! So, bring those itty-bitty summer outfits and shades!
