Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
At the time of writing, foreigners were only allowed to stay at the government resorts on
Kadmat and Minicoy islands, though Agatti (which has a private resort and the only air-
port), Kavaratti and Bangaram should reopen in the future; enquire at SPORTS. Any visits
require a special permit (one month's notice) which can be organised by tour operators or
SPORTS in Kochi.

Boat transport between Agatti and Kadmat is included in the package tours available, and
the same goes for transport from Kochi to Kadmat and the Minicoy Islands. See the pack-
