Disclaimer:
There are only 18 seats on this trip, so if you want to join, book your seat ASAP.
We recommend you book this trip as early as possible. We understand that most people will think of an October trip a little later only. But there is a reason we are recommending you decide early. There are very few flights to Agatti in Lakshadweep, and they get booked out very fast. The rates change crazily, and if you don't book the trip early, you will end up spending a bomb on your flights.
So if the trip interests you, please book it ASAP, ideally in October or early November itself.
Detailed Itinerary
October 11 Day 1: Arrival in Kochi – Explore the Historic Fort Kochi
Arrive in Kochi on the morning of the 8th, ideally before noon. Once you land, take a cab straight to your hotel for a smooth and hassle-free transfer.
After check-in, take some time to freshen up and meet the rest of the group—your fellow travel enthusiasts on this exciting Kochi getaway! Get to know each other and soak in the excitement before heading out for lunch.
Put on your favorite outfit, grab your sunglasses, and get ready to explore one of Kerala’s most iconic destinations—Fort Kochi.
Discover Fort Kochi – A Blend of History, Culture & Charm
Wandering through Fort Kochi is like stepping back in time. This historic neighborhood is where European settlers first arrived in India during the 16th century. The Portuguese, upon receiving permission from the local Raja, built Fort Emanuel by the harbor. Although the Dutch later destroyed the fort, its name lived on—and so did the area's rich legacy.
Today, Fort Kochi is a vibrant cultural hotspot filled with:
-
Art galleries and colorful street art
-
Historic colonial architecture
-
Spice markets and antique shops
-
Trendy cafes and boutique stores
Lunch at Kashi Art Café – Fort Kochi’s Favorite Hangout
For lunch, head over to the popular Kashi Art Café, a beloved gem in Fort Kochi. As described by Lonely Planet:
“Kashi Art Cafe has a zen-like vibe, a green vertical garden, stylish wooden tables and pretty artwork, and the breakfasts and lunches are excellent!”
It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy delicious food, and take in the creative energy that defines Fort Kochi.
Evening Walk & Waterfront Dinner
After lunch, spend the afternoon strolling through the picturesque lanes of Fort Kochi. Admire the graffiti walls, shop for unique handicrafts, spices, and antiques, and capture Instagram-worthy moments at every turn.
Wrap up the day with dinner at a charming waterfront restaurant in Kochi, where you can enjoy local cuisine with stunning sunset views.
October 12: Fly to Agatti Island – Welcome to Lakshadweep Paradise
Today marks the beginning of our adventure in one of India’s most breathtaking and untouched destinations—Agatti Island in Lakshadweep!
With only two direct flights operating to Lakshadweep each day, we’ll all be boarding the same flight—perfect for some pre-vacation bonding. How about coordinating a fun group airport look for some Insta-worthy clicks?
Scenic Flight Over the Laccadive Sea
As we begin our descent, get ready for jaw-dropping views of the Laccadive Sea, scattered with emerald-green islands and coral reefs. The crystal-clear turquoise waters of Lakshadweep are a true spectacle—don't forget to grab a window seat if you can (we know there might be some friendly competition for that spot!).
The Agatti Island airport runway, perched dramatically on a narrow strip of land, is one of the most picturesque in the world—truly a photographer’s dream.
What to Expect in Lakshadweep

You won’t find party hubs or nightclubs—but the beach vibes, music, and bonfires will more than make up for it!
-
This trip is about reconnecting with nature, tranquility, and like-minded travelers. It’s about making memories and meaningful bonds.
Arrival, Check-In & First Dip in the Sea
After landing, we’ll head straight to our resort for check-in. Once you’re settled in and refreshed, it’s time for what we've all been waiting for—a splash in the stunning lagoons of Lakshadweep!
Throw on your beachwear, slip into your flip-flops, and dive into the clear blue waters. The vibe is pure joy and celebration—yes, cue the soundtrack: “Aaj blue hai paani paani…”
Evening Bonding – Island Style
As the sun sets, we’ll gather for a cozy evening under the stars. Expect fun group games, laughter, and laid-back beach vibes as we continue getting to know each other.
