Trip to Archipelago of Laccadives






Yo!! I am keeping up the trend of writing one blog per year. Taking a deviation from my passionate sports and writing this one on Lakshadweep trip. Though I wanted to write this blog in typical galu style of pancharangi, it was always going to be difficult !! So have just written one paragraph of galus!!

Few highlights of the cruise trip to tropical paradise of Lakshadweep :

It all started with boarding cruise in cochin , exploring ship and watching the waves, the spray against the ship, the flying dolphins , shouting for dead fishes and plastic bottles as well!!

We visited Kadamat , Kalpeni and Kavaratti islands. Trip mainly included snorkelling , kayaking and glass boat ridings.



The experience of snorkelling session was just awesome. There were people who were praying that fishes wouldn't do any harm to them when colorful fishes were daring to come close to the body ;) . Sea cucumbers , corals of all sizes and types, seahorse and many more were blessed to see us in the sea.



Glass Bottom Boat Ride was also wonderful which helped us in seeing rich marine life including big turtles , colorful fishes and variety corals.




There were many types of fishes in the marine museum/aquarium. I was surprised by many names of Fishes like Surgeon fish , rabbit fish , parrot fish , flying fish etc. Saw many lobsters , shrimp , sea anemone , crabs , eels , shells , star fishes and a big Stingray

It was really great to be playing after a long time. We played some beach volleyball and football for 3 days. I was so bored to be on the winning side always! No chance for opposite team when HiR() is playing on the other side!!

Was quite surprised when we found people wearing football jerseys . We were shouting for every Jerseys found there. We even found Everton and Sunderland jerseys as well ( No Aston Villa Jersey though !! ) There were so many that I too got bored screaming the name of the club/country !!

Enjoyed classical dances of kolkali ( kolata ) and Parichakali ( sword and shield )



Was hoping to find at least one sunrise or sunset as it was very cloudy.Finally on the last day 3 of us found the orange sun coming out of the hovering clouds. It was appearing as if the Sun had heard our plea and I would say we were really lucky to see such a nice sunrise!!



It was looking as if flying dolphins were there to greet us in Cochin. Then we roamed around in Fort Cochin for the entire day. By that time my face had got tanned :(

The eventful journey with the soft silver sands, the gentle waves, the emerald waters of the lagoon had come to a pleasant end.
