2) Lakshadweep
Lakshadweep is best visited between October and mid-May. It rains from mid-May to September. Though all of the hotels in Lakshadweep are operational all year, getting there by ship is challenging during the monsoon. Even during the monsoon, islands like Agatti and Bangaram are attractive and can be visited by flight from Kochi. It is difficult to reach resorts such as Kadmat and Minicoy because they are not linked by flight. During the monsoon season, the only way to get from Agatti to Bangaram is by helicopter. Nonetheless, the rainy season is a stunning experience, with the vegetation looking greener than ever before and the curtain of rain adding a distinct color to the splendor of lagoons and the blue waters beyond.Even though flights are available throughout the year here, the ships are not available during the rainy season.
