BANGARAM ISLAND
Bangaram is a small coral atoll with a jungle centre, white coral sand running into a turquoise blue lagoon. It is most peoples’ idea of the perfect tropical island and it is of a size that means that you can circumnavigate the whole island on a gentle evening stroll. Bangaram is one of just three of the Lakshadweep Islands that foreign visitors are allowed to visit. Agatti Island is another and is the base for the island group’s airport. You can see Bangaram from Agatti but despite this the boat journey takes a couple of hours because it is a local boat, not a speed boat. Bangaram is uninhabited other than the resort but the local people are allowed to visit, and regularly do so.
