“I never imagined such team bonding and learning on a remote island like Lakshadweep. From fishing with locals to helping in a cafe, I gained deep insights into their challenges and resource management. Taking back lots of inspiration and sunshine.“
Kavaratti
Khaja, a local from Kavaratti Island, has always been passionate about rural development. After earning a master’s in rural development, he focused his research on the potential of rural tourism on his island. Khaja knows every inch of Kavaratti, but his true magic lies beneath the waves. Having spent more of his life underwater than on land, he’s become the island's ultimate guide—whether navigating coral reefs or sharing marine stories. Past visitors rave about Khaja’s hospitality and infectious enthusiasm. Need something special? He’ll make it happen. It’s no wonder travelers leave with a deep love for both the island and its unforgettable host.
Flying from Cochin to Agatti and taking the ferry from Agatti to Kavaratti will occupy Day 1. Activities include a visit to the local market, an island cycling tour, an island walk, a heritage walk, a visit to a local product manufacturing site, snorkeling, scuba diving, painting by the beach, football, volleyball, local meals, and sky watching. The day is filled with the island spirit.
Work with a women's empowerment group in Lakshadweep. These women were housewives, but two years ago, due to an administrative change, their husbands lost their jobs. To support their families, they started a local food café. We collaborate with them to understand the community behind the scenes.

And then what happened?
Magic of Island and Local Communities
