The guiding light of Kavaratti

Standing sentinel on Kavaratti Island, the Lakshadweep archipelago's crown jewel, is the Kavaratti Lighthouse. This prominent landmark isn't just a beacon for sailors; it's a symbol of hope and a testament to the island's natural beauty.

For decades, this 38-meter-tall concrete tower has served as a guiding light in the Arabian Sea. Its vibrant red and white bands stand out against the turquoise canvas, offering unwavering direction to mariners navigating the vast expanse.

The climb to the top is rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. Feel the invigorating sea breeze caress your face as you gaze upon the endless turquoise embrace of the Lakshadweep Sea. In the distance, the pristine shores of Kavaratti Beach shimmer, beckoning you to explore its idyllic paradise.

Witness the beacon of maritime heritage

The Kavaratti Lighthouse stands as an unparalleled monument to Lakshadweep's rich maritime legacy, symbolising an age-old relationship between islanders and the mighty sea that encompasses them. Revered for generations, this iconic structure acts as a guidepost and guardian angel to ships and boats traversing the Arabian Sea. Gazing upon it inspires reverence for the marine legacy contained within its walls.
