2 Days in Agatti for Island Nature Escape
Agatti is a tiny slice of paradise with crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and some of the best coral reefs in India. I spent a week here last year, and these two days capture the essence of what makes this island special—snorkeling in vibrant lagoons, lazy beach walks, and fresh seafood under the stars.

Sunrise at Agatti Beach
Start your day with the soft golden hues of sunrise over Agatti Beach. The powdery white sand and calm turquoise waters make it one of the most picturesque spots in Lakshadweep. Take a leisurely stroll along the shore or just sit back and enjoy the serene atmosphere.
- Carry a light jacket as mornings can be breezy.
- Don’t forget your camera—the light is magical at this hour.
Snorkeling at Bangaram Island
Hop on a short boat ride to Bangaram Island, a tiny paradise known for its crystal-clear waters and thriving coral reefs. Snorkeling here feels like swimming in an aquarium—colorful fish, sea turtles, and vibrant corals are everywhere. Even beginners can enjoy the shallow, calm lagoons.
- Wear reef-safe sunscreen to protect the marine life.

Lunch at a Local Beachside Shack
After snorkeling, refuel at one of the rustic beachside shacks serving fresh seafood caught that morning. Try grilled lobster or tuna curry with steamed rice, paired with tender coconut water straight from the shell. The vibe is casual, and the flavors are unforgettable.
- Ask for the catch of the day—it’s always the best option.

Visit to the Agatti Lighthouse
Head to the Agatti Lighthouse for panoramic views of the island and the endless Arabian Sea. It's a short climb, but the 360-degree vista from the top is worth it. You'll see the island's lush greenery, the turquoise waters, and the tiny dots of neighboring atolls in the distance.

- Ask before taking photos—people appreciate the courtesy.
- Try bargaining if you want to buy fresh fish.
