Living In Kavaratti :)

Hey all , today i am going to share my very first experiences coming to kavaratti from mainland India.



    
I was awestruck when i landed here at the natural beauty of Lakshadweep islands. It was very beautiful with the lagoon around the island and the people here are nice & helpful. 




Language here could be a challenge for non Malayalam speakers but English / Hindi are understood by about 20-25% of the population.  The religion followed here is Islam and people here are very spiritual and Kind hearted. Every one attends their Friday prayers for sure with many businesses and schools not working on fridays.

Climate here ranges between 24 degrees to 33 degrees all through the year.But when it comes to monsoon season , it pours continuously and takes some time for one to adjust to the weather during the monsoon. Other than the monsoons, it is beautiful weather in Kavaratti Islands. 

Hotels may be easily available, but its a challenge finding houses or flats for monthly rent. The cuisine is quiet similar to that of Kerala and is  tasty .
For those from elsewhere working here in such a tiny Island, it feels laid back and pleasant as compared to the same work in the mainland.
