A trip to Lakshadweep is definitely on our radars, isn’t it? Ever since we saw Prime Minister Narendra Modi enjoy the beach, sun and snorkelling, we have all been waiting for a long weekend to finally explore the beautiful islands. Well, if you have been too, we have the perfect guide to spending 48 hours in pristine lands. Take a 48-hour journey through these emerald jewels and uncover the hidden treasures scattered across these enchanting isles.
48 Hours In Lakshadweep Islands
Day 1:
Morning:
No matter where you fly from, you will land at Agatti Airport. This island is filled with beauty but there is hardly anything else to indulge you here. The better option would be to go to Bangaram Island by speedboat. It is a lively island nearby and it will take you around 2 hours to reach there. After checking in at the Bangaram Island resort, the only resort on this island, it will be time for you to soak in the glory of this stunning Lakshadweep island. Here, you can stroll along the stunning beaches, admire the crystal-clear waters, and indulge in water activities like snorkelling, kayaking, or just relaxing by the shore.
Afternoon:
Once you get hungry, gorge on a delectable seafood lunch at a beachside restaurant. The resort’s restaurant will have plenty for you to choose from. Once you’re happy and full, take a short 30-minute boat ride again to Thinnakara Island. Another beauty in Lakshdweep’s cluster is that there is a lot for you to do here. Taking a dip in these pristine waters is not just about a swim. The underwater wonders waiting for you make it so much more special. Later, step out of the water and try some beach volleyball.
Evening:
What is the point of being at the beach if you miss the chance to watch the sun dip into the sea? Embark on a sunset cruise around the nearby islands for breathtaking views and to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Once you’re done and dusted for the day, all that is left to do is head back to your cottage, enjoy the local cuisine of Lakshadweep under the stars, and look forward to another day of more nature and more fun.

Day 2:
Morning:
Start your second day in Lakshadweep with an early, hearty breakfast and get ready to leave for Kadmat Island. This coral island is filled with marine turtles and you will come across plenty of them. It is just a 1.5-hour boat ride away and of course, the travel to and from different islands is an impeccable experience you will love. Once you’re there, you must make the most of the marine life. Apart from the classics like diving and snorkelling, deep-sea fishing is one activity you cannot miss here. Boating in a glass-bottom boat is also something you must go for. Next, you can also go for a guided tour of the Kadmat Lagoon, known for its diverse marine species.
Afternoon:
After spending so much time in the water, you will soon be famished and a delicious spread of food will be waiting for you at a beach restaurant. Once you are full, take some time to relax on the beach and soak in all the beauty around you. Before you know it, it will be time for you to head back to Bangaram via boat.
Evening:
Bid adieu to the serene islands, take in the final sunset, and depart via speedboat to Agatti for your flight back.
Your 48 hours here will unfold into a lifetime of cherished memories amidst the captivating beauty of Lakshadweep’s untouched islands.
