The beautiul Bangaram (visited in December 1991) is besides Agatti the only tourist island on the Lakkadives. The island lies in a wonderful big lagoon which is surrounded by an excellent sandy beach.
You won't find luxury on Bangaram as there exist a law for environment protection - that's really important. You can relax on this island and forget the daily worries as you won't have television, telephone or even the news.
The 30 bungalows are furnished very simple but are always very clean. Unfortunately the walls are so thin that you sometimes understand what your neighbours are talking about - so take care when talking about your neighbours!!!
The food is mainly Indian style, but sometimes continental menus are served. The bar offers a quiet place to have a drink in the evening, to feel the warm sun during the sunset on your skin and the cool sand on your bare feet.

The underwater world is still in a very good condition as there are only two tourist island in the Lakkadives and therefore not many tourists have been there so far.
Most of the time there are only small groups of divers which go together to a dive site. There are so many things to see like wonderful coral blocks as well as the various fish everywhere.
On the reef walls - which go down some hundred of meters - you have the chance to see big sharks. If you are not lucky to see one there you can be sure to find whitetip reef sharks or nurse sharks at the other dive sites.
From the most colourful coral fish over moray eels, turtles, barracudas to napoleons you see anything under water.
Not to forget the stingrays and the eagle rays as well as the trips to the old wrecks.
