Is it okay to travel Agatti Island in June?

Will the weather be so bad for the month? will it be hot or very rainy?

What can be expected?

Hi,
I am from bangalore. My passport has expired and is currently in renewal. Do I need a passport or any sort of permit to visit Maldives? Or is it like traveling to an other Indian state where your license or any ID will do?

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to organise a 3 night stay in Kadmat for early Jan 07.

I have been in touch with Lacadives Mumbai who are able to arrange permit, ship ticket and accomodation in Kadmat.

Can anyone say if the ship is reliable or subject to delays. And what the crossing is like - I get very seasick.

Also does anyone know what lacadives Mumbai are like.

Thanks in advance.

I plan to visit Agatti island(part of lakshadweep) in the first week of August.
I am not certain about the condition out there at that time of the year.Does it keep raining the entire day, or would i get to spend time on the beach !!

How much would a trip for 5 days to that place cost me ?

How good/bad is the ship journey from cochin to Agatti ??

If anybody got any info,plz do let me know.

Hi all,

i was planning a visit to Lakshadweep for 7-10 days in Nov'05. I need info. I planned to fly down as my wife gets sea sick quickly. We are keen on water sports like scuba diving, sailing & kayakking.

I need suggestion on weather during Nov. Also had this rough thing planned out please tell me

land in Agatti spend 2-3 days then travel to kavaratti & Bangaram island for 2-3 days each hence a total of 7-9 odds in all. I plan to travel between island on boat itself i think that will be the cheapest option left for me.
Suggestion to stay in all 3 island. Do you think i should visit other island too? Can you suggest me an agency or local contact fo bookings.

I am a Indian citizen.

thanks

In Andaman and Lakshadweep, are there any Full moon/Rave/Trance parties like the ones in Goa and Koh Phagan?

hello,
I am planning to go backpacking in asia for 6 months. doing my research, I came across Lakshadweep isle. I had never heard of it before. I realize you can not go there as a "backpacker" and am considering to actually spend some money (I can hear Indian board of tourism's sigh of relief) and turn into a cruise ship/resort person for a few days just to see the place. BUT is it worth it? does anyone know anything about these isle? kalpeni looks like the best one? any info is welcomed.

I want to visit Bangram next year in the first week or two of September. I have read that the Southwest monsoon lasts until the middle of September so I would catch the tail end of it. Does anybody know what the weather is likely to be like at this time? Is it likely to rain consistantly or just in patches? And will there still be some sunshine?

Thanks!

These must be just about the most difficult islands in the world to find info on!

Wrldtravler has given some great info on them on Virtual Tourist, but I am unable to contact him by email, so am now looking elsewhere.

Ideally, I'd like to make email contact with someone who has visited to ask some fairly specific Qs, but in the meantime feedback on places to stay other than Bangaram and Agatti Island Resort would be great, and also any tips about how far accommodation is likely to be from places to eat, would be very much appreciated.

unfortunately august is the only month I can come to the islands. Is the weather THAT bad? Will I have to stay locked in a hotel room all day long? Please help...

is there any other way to go to Bangaram islands other through a major resort? is there a cheaper way. Is a permit needed for all islands? Any suggestions which island is good? Whats the weather like in June/July? Although breezy, how is the is the humidity? ANY guidance would be appreciated.
