Lakshadweep

One of world's most spectacular tropical island systems, Lakshadweep is tucked away off the Kerala coast. The islands look like emeralds against the vast expanse of the blue sea. Each island is fringed by snow white coral sands and placid lagoons. The lagoons offer an excellent opportunity for water sports like swimming, wind-surfing, diving, snorkeling and kayaking. The crystal clear water and the abundant marine life will make this a truly memorable camp.
