Travel Tips

  • Book accommodation well in advance; Bangaram has limited lodging and fills quickly.
  • Bring waterproof sunscreen SPF 50+; equatorial sun is intense over the lagoon.
  • Pack reef-safe snorkeling gear or rent locally; avoid touching coral.
  • Carry INR cash; ATMs are absent on the island and cards rarely work.
  • Respect restricted zones marked for marine conservation and local wildlife.
