We have visited Lakshadweep -Agatti on 21st of December for three days.we stayed in kasim home stay. Accomodation and food at Kasim Home stay was basic and ordinary. This place has the natures beauty beyond our imagination ,clean white sand beaches beautiful,lagoon with corals,and marine life .The clean and beautiful Lagoons are the specialty of Lakshadweep Islands. Snorkeling and Scuba diving take you to to the amazing underwater of marine life. The corals and sea animals are very beautiful.
Only a place in the world offer you both peace and adventure. Agatti is one of those. An absolutely untouched unexplored location. Sea is clean and serene. Views are spectacular. Its a short air travel from kochi and only airindia flights are available.There are lot of water activities that you can do few options are snorkeling, scuba, water scooter etc. One should try local sea food.
Visited Agatti during last xmas hols - Lakshadweep is a hidden gem. crystal clear water, clean sand beaches and amazing people. Did snorkelling, diving, lazy walks through the beach etc etc and was amazing. Tip: Not much water sports / activities other than the above and also there was only a mediocre restaurant (which we found interesting :) )
This is one place which is closest to nature. No noise is allowed on the islands and not many humans around.The island boasts of sea on both sides as it is a long strip. The walk on the centre road is charming and relaxing.Activities on the island involves snorkelling, glass bottom boat ride and kayaking etc. The sea is not very dreadful instead it is walkable to a long distance and the crystal clear water make the corals be visible.A must visit place and an experience in itself...

At the outset I would like to admit that our one day visit to Agatti Island was forced one due to cancellation of our flight due to technical reasons. We were left standard without accommodation and food. Finally got one shut resort open, where the caretaker very graciously allowed us one nights stay. He did manage to get us food at 10 30 pm. Now the place. Like whole Lakshadweep Islands Agatti is a paradise. Lovely white sands, beautiful idle landscape, smooth beaches and a fantastic blue water exposure unseen so far. However once on the Island there is nothing else to do. Move to the closest Islands is costly without any activity since all resorts are shut down due to a legal dispute, awaiting court decision. The locals though very nice have little to offer. A few home stays are managed by influential tour operators who charge heavily for the stay and food. My advise to all. Go only if you want to idle for a couple of days amongst your own group.
Best place for scuba diving.very calm beaches with blue water for peaceful holidays.ecofriendly people making best use of coconut difficult for peopleto imaginemail living in big cities.

Stayed here for 1 night only in Oct 2013 at a government guest house due to the late arrival of the AIr India flight preventing the timely departure to Kadmat Island. On the plus side it presented an opportunity to look around Agatti island before heading onto Kadmat at 4am! Since then speedboats are now available for the transit to Kadmat, but they may not operate in bad weather or when there are mechanical issues with the boat.
the place is mesmerizing and has breathtaking scenery, But for that there are some hardships , like permit , as tourism is restricted you have to go as house guest of the residents and this is not definitely not like any resort , food is nice home cooked .Other than taking picture and one day visit to Bangaram 's uninhibited island there is really not much to do , water sports like scuba thats it and glass bottom ride was bit scary without any life jacket. Power supply is erratic and except for lagoon beach one shack there is no eateries. With all this should be in every one's to visit list for its unspoiled pristine turquoise blue water with white sand beaches.
