About Bangaram
Bangaram is a small, uninhabited teardrop-shaped coral island in the Lakshadweep archipelago in the Arabian Sea, about 459 km west of Kochi and close to Agatti. It sits in a wide, shallow lagoon enclosed by a coral reef that it shares with Thinnakara and Parali islands, and is covered in coconut groves fringed by white sand beaches.
Apart from a small island resort there are no roads or town services. Cruise visits are rare and limited to small expedition ships, which anchor offshore and land guests on the beach by Zodiac or local boat.
All visitors need a Lakshadweep entry permit, and Bangaram is one of the few islands open to foreign tourists.
