The Lakshadweep or Laccadives, as they were formerly called, are a string of little known islands, lying 200 or so miles off the Kerala coast. There are 36 main islands in all, forming an archipelago. There are coral atolls, endless sands, submerged banks and reefs, covering a magical underwater world. The isolation of the islands have ensured the preservation of their pure culture and pristine nature, right to the present day. Bangaram presents a breathtaking spectacle of sparkling coral reefs, turquoise blue lagoons, silvery beaches and lush green coconut palms. The more unhurried can simply laze on the silver beaches, soak in the sun, listen to the sound of the waves and watch the swaying of the palms. The island feels like it was designed specifically for languid strolls, to watch the beach dances of hermit crabs and listen to the raucous music of the seabirds. But should you feel the need for a little more adventure on your holiday, Bangaram Island offers a whole new set of activities
