Domestic Flights: The first step is to book a flight to one of the Lakshadweep's airports. The main gateway is Agatti Airport (AGX), which is well-connected to Kochi (Cochin) International Airport (COK) in Kerala. Several domestic airlines operate regular flights between Kochi and Agatti. The flight duration is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
International Flights: If you're traveling from abroad, you'll need to book an international flight to Kochi (Cochin) International Airport (COK) first. From Kochi, you can then catch a domestic flight to Agatti Airport.
By Sea
Some cruise ships and passenger vessels operate from Kochi to Lakshadweep's major islands, including Kavaratti, Kalapeni, and Minicoy. These journeys can take several days and offer a unique opportunity to experience the sea.
Ships also transport cargo and a limited number of passengers between mainland India (Kochi) and Lakshadweep islands. Availability for passenger travel on cargo ships may be limited and subject to specific regulations.
Local transport in Lakshadweep
There is no railway network in Lakshadweep. The only means of transport are by road and by sea.
