The island is known for its sea-food and serves a variety of local dishes to the traveller. Dishes with fish and coconut are an integral park of Lakshadweep cuisine because you find both coconut and fish in abundance on the island. If you have to pick nearby islands that are worth a visit, go for Agatti, Kadmat and Bangaram Islands.

Kavaratti does not have an airport even though it is the capital of Lakshadweep. Agatti Island Airport is the nearest airport to Kavaratti Island. Kochi Airport is the nearest one in the Indian mainland. You can also opt for a ship voyage to Kavaratti from Kochi. There are separate passenger ships for locals and travellers and it’s an overnight journey from Kochi to Lakshadweep.
