India’s Islands

The food culture of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep is heavily influenced by their coastal location and the diverse local communities. 

The islands’ culinary offerings prominently feature seafood, with dishes like grilled fish, crab curry, and prawn malai cooked in aromatic coconut milk and spices. The indigenous communities contribute to the rich culinary traditions with unique preparations that include root vegetables and local fruits. In Lakshadweep, dishes such as masala fish and tender lamb biryani reflect the influence of Middle Eastern and coastal Indian flavors.

Guest Experiences

Served over 23000+ happy travelers

We have just come back from a trip to Tamil Nadu (India). Our experience with Travel XS has been really good. We wanted a very specific trip and organization because we had a friend's wedding in the middle of the trip. They knew how to adapt the trip to our needs very well. The drivers we had were really professional, punctual and clean, as well as friendly. Our communication with the travel agent was clear and he always answered very quickly to our questions or needs. The guides were amazing, the trips, the temples... we are really happy with this experience and for sure we will use Travel XS services in our future trips. Thank you!
