Our trip to Lakshadweep has been the best in my life till date.. The secluded beaches, swaying palms, the coral reefs, white sand, the blue sea, crystal clear water, unimaginable variety of sea life, the most friendly hosts – I have fallen in love with every bit of this archipelago..

During low tide, the sea water recedes remarkably exposing a vast expanse of white seabed. The water colour turns to the palest of the blue..
You have narrated the journey to the Paradise on Earth in a lovely manner. Lakshadweep is a place which will make you nostalgic and it will take time to come out from the nostalgia even after months and years.
Thankyou Somnath 🙂
Again I repeat, words, pictures, movies can only describe Lakshadweep partially. One should touch, feel, smell, see this heaven on earth personally. Sindhu narrated the journey very comprehensively with lovely pictorial depiction. Since I happened to be there with Sindhu so I can feel that there are lot many things yet to be told, lot many pictures are yet to be depicted……but at the end all are very less to express this paradise on earth.
