• The Administration records Bangaram as uninhabited
• IHCL currently publishes a SeleQtions hotel on Bangaram
• The Administration identifies Agatti as the gateway

Bangaram is one of the few Lakshadweep islands with both a current Administration profile and a current hotel page from the hotel company itself. Those sources make it possible to publish useful facts without relying on old operator names, copied tariffs or personal anecdotes.

Sources reviewed on 22 August 2026.

Official island record

The Administration records Bangaram as uninhabited with a land area of 2.30 sq km. Its island page describes a shallow lagoon, coral reef, tourist cottages, a restaurant, a bar and activities including scuba diving, swimming, snorkelling and deep-sea fishing.

The page identifies Agatti as the gateway. Use that as route context, then confirm the actual transfer for your dates.

Current hotel source

IHCL currently publishes Bangaram Island, Lakshadweep - IHCL SeleQtions. The hotel page lists five room categories, two dining outlets, permit notes, check-in and check-out times, direct contact details and a booking control.

IHCL states 57 rooms and 3 suites. Its permit section says the hotel will assist for an additional charge and describes the permit as specific to Bangaram, subject to government approval.

Read the Bangaram Island resort guide for the booking checklist and dated availability observation. Use the Lakshadweep mobile-network guide before relying on an old island-wide coverage claim.

Confirm the complete chain

A usable booking should identify:

• the live room result for your dates;
• the arrival sector to Agatti or another confirmed route;
• every onward and return island transfer;
• permit support, documents and charges;
• meals included in the selected rate;
• taxes, compulsory additions and cancellation terms;
• the plan if a connection is disrupted.

What was removed from the old guide

The previous page named an unsupported operator, published unverified prices and transfer times, described first-person diving experiences and advised travellers to carry alcohol. It also made medical, connectivity and power claims without sources. Those statements have been removed.

Compare Bangaram before booking

Read Agatti versus Bangaram for the gateway decision and Bangaram versus Kadmat for the difference between a current hotel source and a package-led route.

Consider the neighbouring island separately

Read the Thinnakara guide before treating a proposed excursion as part of a Bangaram stay. Use the beaches guide to compare island settings without assuming identical access or accommodation.
