@@wicked_minion We received the permit about 10 days before the trip. So they must have applied somewhere around 2 weeks before the trip.

@sharanyashyamdas oh so in 4 days after application, you got the permit. I'm telling them to apply continuously everyday. Our trip is on Jan 12th to 19th.

@@wicked_minion I think the permits are valid for less than 28 days. Maybe that is the reason they apply it closer to the date of departure.

@@wicked_minion Also, given flight cancellations are common in Lakshadweep, they also try to keep few reserve days after your last day in Lakshadweep. Hence, applying permit closer to the dates of travel.

@@reviewsidhedilse9721 Glad you found it helpful :)

@@wicked_minion They have packages for other islands also, but is subject to availability of permits.

@@darshanmukadam January will be a good time to visit.

@@wicked_minion 1. The accommodation was very good for the price. I've posted a detailed vlog with their homestay accommodation on my channel. There are other premium properties available if you are looking for a more luxurious accommodation. 2. The food was Kerala cuisine with rice/roti, fish or chicken every meal. As someone from Kerala, i really enjoyed their food. 3. Bangaram and Thinnakara were not part of our package and this was clearly called out from the beginning. So there was no question of refund.

@@TravelingwithTaurus4325 Hi, we took a package that costed total 25K per person for roundtrip flights + 3N/4D accommodation and sightseeing in Lakshadweep.

@sharanyashyamdas thank you so much 🙏

@@RAHULSHEORAN7 Hi! I understand your disappointment. Lakshadweep is a fragile ecosystem and they need to keep number of visitors in check at all times. The demand for Lakshadweep tourism is at an all time high and hence the permit issues.

Bangaram is too expensive. Kavaratti permits are still open.

@@darshanmukadam Thank you for the info! Bangaram has more luxury resorts and activities and hence expensive.

@@anandhigurumoorthy3894 To be on the safe side, atleast 3-4 weeks before departure. It takes 1-2 weeks for police verification (depending on the state and police station) and another 1 week for permit.

@sharanyashyamdas thank s for your immediate response

@@anandhigurumoorthy3894 😊

@@Ishanikhil Yes, you can visit bangaram with a permit. It is different from permit for Agatti. A travel agency will be able to get you permits for bangaram.

@@sumanaganguly5544 Yes, upto 15kg check in baggage is allowed

@sharanyashyamdas thank you 😊

@@krishnapriyaA-te1yr Thank you 🫶

@@sumanaganguly5544 Snorkelling is done at the surface of water using an eye mask and snorkel, so you don't go inside the water and breathe through the snorkel. In scuba diving, you go under water as deep as 40m and breathe with the help of oxygen cylinders. You can touch and explore corals and underwater marine life closely while doing scuba diving.

@@sharanyashyamdas thank you for all answers

@@sumanaganguly5544 Happy to help 🙂

@@sumanaganguly5544 Hey! No, they don't provide costumes. You can wear whatever you want, provided it is comfortable and not too heavy. The photos and videos will look much better if you wear bright colors.

@@sharanyashyamdas you have a place to change before and after diving?

@@sumanaganguly5544 Yes, there were washrooms nearby Ammathi to change.

@@sumanaganguly5544 Scuba diving was not part of our package. When we requested to add scuba, QC travels suggested we go with Ammathi scuba.

@@sharanyashyamdas is it mandate to know swimming when you do scuba?

@@sumanaganguly5544 Not at all. I don't know swimming myself. There will be a trainer along with you, who knows swimming and know how to use oxygen cylinders.

I think they do. You can check with them once.

Bangaram is too expensive btw, we are also planning.

@@shabicraz9374 Thanks to you & QC travels for a memorable trip!

@@wicked_minion Hi! Yes, it was 13000 per person for a 3 Night/4 Day package. That includes all meals for 3 days and breakfast for day 4 (we left on day 4 morning). Agatti permit will be available, but you'll need a sponsor from Lakshadweep to get the permit.

@sharanyashyamdas yes thanks. Because so many agents are charging lakhs and all. We thought it's very expensive and were literally going to cancel our flight tickets. Your vlog literally saved me 🙌!

@@wicked_minion Lakshadweep is very very affordable. Infact it is cheaper than Andamans and any other international destination. I'd recommend the agency we travelled with - QC travels. They have all kinds of packages ranging from budget-friendly to premium and luxury packages. You can find their contact details in the description box.

And how should we pay the qc travels tour operator. Like in advance or on the spot after reaching? Or after the trip? Or 1-2 months before? Kindly guide ​@@sharanyashyamdas

@@wicked_minion Hi! We made the payment in installments. The first installment was paid during flight booking (100% flight costs), the second installment was after receiving entry permit and third installment was after we landed in Lakshadweep.

It will reopen within the date or not?😢

@@MikasHungry I checked the permit website today and online process for permit applications is still open. If you have already received Police Clearance, permit process will only take less than a week. So there is no need to panic as of now. Keep following up with your travel agency and it might be a good idea to check with another travel agency if you have not already made payments.
