Kadmat Island in June
Lakshadweep, India
Most water sports and dive operators close during monsoon rains from June onwards
June on Kadmat is the chain at full lockdown. Kadmat Beach Resort has been closed since around May 15 and stays shuttered until late September. The SAMUDRAM cruise from Kochi is paused for the season — both MV Kavaratti and MV Lakshadweep Sea are in for refit. The Lacadives dive school is shut. Inter-island speedboats are dry-docked. Air 25-28C, rainfall 350-400mm across the month, sustained 35-knot winds, sea state too rough for any commercial sailing. Lakshadweep Tourism doesn't issue tourist permits for June arrivals to any island; the office begins processing September-onward applications mid-month. The few residents in Kadmat village wait it out. The next viable arrival window is the resort's September re-opening, typically September 25-30. The cleanest planning move from June is to lock October dates and submit the permit application now via lakshadweeptourism.com.
