2 Days in Bangaram for a Relaxing Island Getaway

Bangaram is a tiny, untouched island in Lakshadweep where time slows down. I fell in love with its powdery white beaches, crystal-clear waters, and the way the coconut palms sway in the breeze. It's the kind of place where you can truly disconnect and soak in nature's beauty without any distractions. Whether you're snorkeling among colorful fish or just lounging in a hammock, Bangaram feels like your own private paradise.
