Bangaram atoll is connected to the reef of Agatti through a shallow submarine ridge.[3]

Demographics

Bangaram Island, the main island in the atoll, has a small population of 10. Bangaram Island Resort was located on the east coast of this island.[6]

Thinnakara, has a construction camp (~30) for the new resort being built on its west coast.[7]

Administration

The island belongs to the township of Agatti Island of Kavaratti Tehsil.[8]

Tourism

The Bangaram Island Beach Resort opened to tourism in 1974, but the lack of commercial flights made access difficult. Tourism took off after the Agatti Aerodrome on the nearby Agatti island was commissioned and regular commercial flights from Kochi were established.[9] The resort had 60 cottages. Current alcohol regulations in Lakshadweep allow consumption of alcoholic drinks only on Bangaram Atoll.

The new Thinnakara is owned by locals from Agatti. It will offer numerous adventure activities, including scuba diving, snorkelling, deep sea fishing beside white sand beaches, a calm lagoon and a sparkling, clear coral reef.[10]

Flora and fauna

The Atoll is popular for its serene setting. Numerous species of tropical birds are found on the island.[11]
