The smallest of the union territories of India, Lakshadweep can be said to be a geographical extension of the Maldives chain of Islands. It was earlier called as Laccadives and the name literally means "a hundred thousand islands". Lakshadweep is basically an archipelago which consists of 36 islands, 12 atolls and 3 reefs and 5 submerged banks in the Arabian Sea. Lakshadweep islands can certainly be called as a tropical paradise. Clear blue waters, deserted and calm sandy beaches, endless sunshine, coconut trees etc, whatever you wish for is present in this place. This place is very intriguing for the visitors who come here as the place is comparatively undiscovered, untouched and unspoilt. This adds more to the beauty of the place and the visitors of Lakshadweep islands are simply left awe-struck with the beauty of the islands. |
