Lakshadweep is an archipelago consisting of 36 islands located off the southwestern coast of India in the Arabian Sea. It is known for its stunning natural beauty, with turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs. The islands are spread over an area of about 30,000 square miles, but only 10 of the islands are inhabited, with a total population of around 60,000.
The Lakshadweep islands have a rich cultural heritage, influenced by both Indian and Arab traditions due to historical trade links. The predominant language spoken is Malayalam, and the local cuisine is heavily based on seafood, coconut, and rice. The islands are also home to various festivals and traditions that reflect the unique lifestyle of its inhabitants.
Tourism in Lakshadweep is primarily focused on water sports, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, and sailing, attracting adventure seekers from around the world. With its pristine environment, the Union Territory is a protected area, which restricts the number of tourists allowed at any given time, ensuring preservation of its natural beauty and ecosystem.
