Kalpeni Lagoon, Kalpeni Island, Lakshadweep 682557

Kalpeni's immense coral lagoon is celebrated as one of the most radiant in the Indian Ocean. Enclosing the main island together with the uninhabited islets of Tilakkam, Kodithala, and Cheriyam, the lagoon provides calm, shallow turquoise water where visitors can kayak, pedal-boat, snorkel over live staghorn coral, or wade to nearby sandbars.
