Classifieds: Travel | | Lakshadweep Islands-Bangaram Island Reso | | Posted By: Concept Voyages at: 1, Oct 2011 2:03:55 PM IST | Lakshadweep Islands-Bangaram Island Resort
Called sometimes the Jewel of the Lakshadweep, Bangaram Island is a sparsely populated haven. Barring the occasional visitor from nearby Agatti (where the airport is situated), the only residents are the resort staff. This
teardrop shaped, thick with cool coconut plantations and encircled by a corona of silver sand, Bangaram lives up to every ''desert island'' fantasy you''ve ever had. The air is fresh with ozone. Sparkling coral reefs unwind around turquoise blue lagoons, bursting with tropical life. The waters are calm, warm and perfect for swimming, snorkelling, diving or just plain wading and messing about.
All this, of course, would tend to leave you with a difficult choice. Activity or inactivity? If you''re in an unhurried mood, you can simply laze on the silver beaches, soak in the sun, listen to the sound of the waves and watch the swaying of the palms. The island feels like it was designed specifically for languid strolls. Step out, stretch and watch the beach dances of hermit crabs, or listen to the raucous music of a hundred-piece seabird chorus.
But should you feel the need for a little more adventure on your holiday, Bangaram Island offers a wholly different set of activities. The resort offers you a variety of outdoor pursuits - Kayaking, Catamaran sailing, snorkelling, deep sea fishing, and scuba diving. A well-equipped and professionally manned Scuba Diving facility is available at the resort. As a diving location, the virgin reefs of Bangaram have been ranked by many of the world''s experienced divers as being among the best anywhere.
Ancient shipwrecks get discovered every now and then, since the reefs aren''t even fully explored yet. That''s one reason why they abound in undersea life. Manta rays, eagle rays, moray eels and Hawksbill turtles are common, as are game fish.
There are three uninhabited islands in the same atoll, Tinnakara, Parali and the not very imaginatively named Parali-II. Each can be reached by out boarding, sailing, rowing or for the incurably athletic, by kayaking or windsurfing from Bangaram. Perfect for a day''s outing, if you''re up to it.
Accommodation on the island is simple and unpretentious. Set in 128 acres, there are 30 tiled - roof beach huts, each with its own palm-thatched verandah, en-suite bathroom, ceiling fan and fridge. In a bit to preserve Bangaram''s unique environment, a hotel atmosphere is avoided intentionally, but fret not - there are enough creature comforts to ensure your stay is an enjoyable one.
There are also four bungalows, which are bigger and offer total privacy. At the heart of the resort is the restaurant hut. It''s a little architectural marvel made by the islanders, crafted entirely out of bamboo and palm fronds, around a single tall central pole.
