1. An Airport Fringed by Coral reefs
Agatti Island is the gateway to the Lakshadweep Islands. Designed for Dornier 228-type airplanes, the Agatti Aerodrome is located on a tiny strip of land fringed by cerulean waters and is the only one serving the Lakshadweep islands. As your flight lands at Agatti, feast your eyes on the shimmering waters of the lagoon that appear to merge into the blue horizon.
