LAKSHADWEEP A PANORAMIC VIEW
|
One
of world's most spectacular tropical island systems, Lakshadweep is
tucked away at 220-440Kms off the Kerala Coast. The islands offer a
precious heritage of ecology and culture. The unique feature of the
Islands is its coral reef, making it a pristine leisure spot to come
back to. 4200 sq. kms. of lagoon, rich in marine wealth, is spread over
36 islands in an area of 32 sq. kms. The underwater view at Lakshadweep
is kaleidoscopic and breathtaking. The lagoon offers excellent potential
for water sports like swimming, wind-surfing, diving, snorkeling and
kayaking. No wonder, Lakshadweep is fast becoming India's one of its
kind �Adventure sport - Nature Tourism� location. Each island is
fringed by snow white coral sands. The crystal clear water and the
abundant marine life enhance the beauty of these islands. Against the
vast expanse of the blue sea, the island look like emeralds. The huge
shallow calm lagoon on one side with wall like reef made of marine live
coral boulders blocks the incoming swells of the outer sea. The islands
are linked to the mainland by: - ship, helicopter, Indian Airlines,
Kingfisher Airlines and mechanized sailing wooden vessels. In all the
islands, elaborate infrastructure is in place to meet the needs of
tourists.
Lakshadweep was given the National Eco-Tourism Award 1997 .
