Your Lakshadweep permit, without the old paperwork

The tourist application is online. Sponsorship and a PCC upload are no longer required. The remaining job is to follow the current portal prompts and make the issued permit match the trip.

Getting there: the flight, or a night at sea

The general route starts at Kochi. The aviation department also names Bengaluru and Goa services, and every option still needs the final island joined up before you pay.

What a trip actually costs, built from live quotes

There is no honest single figure. Assemble permit, transport, stay, transfers, meals and activities from quotes for your own dates.

Which island can you actually book

Shortlist by what can be confirmed for the same dates: the route, the stay, the return sector and the permit. Not by a ranking.

For foreign visitors, the permit is only half the answer

A passport and tourist visa are clear. Island eligibility is less tidy because two Administration pages do not describe the package catalogue in the same way.

Travel & Islands

Island and beach choices, Agatti flights, mainland gateways, passenger ships and connected transfers.

Landing at Agatti

A short runway, a small aircraft and a transfer that is somebody's responsibility. Work out whose before you fly.

Bangaram or Kadmat: resort, or the package route

One is a single hotel on an uninhabited island. The other is tourist huts reached on a package through Agatti.

Agatti or Bangaram: the airstrip, or the transfer from it

They are linked in the official route description but they are not interchangeable. One has the runway; the other needs a confirmed connection to it.

travel Reviewed 30 Jul 2026 6 sources

When to go, and when not to

October to mid-May is the usable window. During the monsoon the sea closes in first, which matters most for islands with no airstrip.

The flight ends at Agatti. Your trip may not.

Search Agatti, then join the fare to the permit, stay, island transfer and return. A seat to the airport is only the first part of the booking.

Fly to Agatti only after the rest of the trip is joined up

Kochi is the clearest official gateway, but the fare is only useful when Agatti connects to your stay, permit and return.
