Kochi is the single gateway to Lakshadweep, and every journey to the islands begins here. You can fly Kochi (COK) to Agatti (AGX) on a small ATR flight, then transfer by boat to your island, or sail from Kochi by ship on the Samudram cruise or a government passenger vessel. There are no direct flights to the islands from any other city, so travellers from Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad all connect through Kochi. A night in Kochi before or after keeps the trip relaxed.

Why every route goes through Kochi

Agatti has the only airport in Lakshadweep, and the flights that serve it operate from Kochi. Ships to the islands also depart from Kochi. That makes Kochi the one gateway, so wherever you start, your itinerary is built around a Kochi connection.

Fly or sail: choosing your route

Flying Kochi to Agatti is quick, though seats on the small ATR aircraft are limited and best booked early. Sailing on the Samudram ship cruise takes longer, roughly 14 to 20 hours each way, but rolls the journey into the experience with several islands on one voyage. We help you weigh time against budget and style.

Connecting to Kochi from other cities

There are no direct flights to Lakshadweep from Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad or anywhere else. Travellers from these cities fly to Kochi first, then continue by air or sea. We can help align your connecting flight timings with the island departure.

Add a Kochi night before or after

Island departures can be early, and flight seats are tight, so a pre or post-trip night in Kochi adds valuable breathing room. It also lets you explore Fort Kochi, the historic waterfront and a taste of Kerala before or after the islands.

Permit and planning

Every visitor needs a mandatory entry permit, which we assist with arranging, subject to government approval. Apply roughly 15 to 30 days ahead with ID proof, passport photos and a police clearance certificate, so start planning early alongside your Kochi connections.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
