Lakshadweep is a vast group of islands in the Arabian Sea, just off the Malabar coast. These emerald blue isles are visited by hordes of tourists every year. It is reachable by ship from Cochin, in Kerala, and by flights from Cochin and Mangalore, in Karnataka. As a fairly new trend, lots of yachtsmen from all over the world travel to Lakshadweep in their personal yachts. They come to Bolgatty Island Berth in Cochin, and then proceed towards Lakshadweep. They receive all the facilities in Lakshadweep and it is a treat for private yachtsmen. Once they get to the islands, they can go Scuba diving, snorkelling and trekking. There are yacht clubs and adventure clubs in Calicut, Mangalore and Cochin that also organise yacht and sailing trips . With the surge of Yacht races and global yacht promos happening, Lakshadweep is an important stopover for such enthusiasts.
