Lakshwadeep is an island with conditions that are similar to that of 12 atolls, 3 reefs and 5 submerged banks. There are 10 inhabited islands and 17 uninhabited islands with a total geographical area of 32 sq. kms.
Situated to that of Kerala coast, Almost all islands experience tropical climate with temperature ranging from 25 degrees c to 35 degrees.
Perhaps the charm of Lakshadweep islands lies in their remoteness. Far off the beaten track, they attract no hordes of merry makers to its shores, or perhaps it is the beauty of the islands densely covered with coconut palms, and threaded by an unbroken line of creamy sand, each island serenely set in a sea whose waters range from palest aquamarine and torquoise to deepest sapphire. Yet again, may be the unique charm of Lakshadweep lies in the fact that each island, a tiny principality in itself, has existed from time immemorial, with little influence from the outside world.
Whatever the reason for Lakshadweep's magic. one fact is certain - it is the big destination of tomorrow
