View of one of the islands in the Lakshadweep from a passing ship

The Lakshadweep Islands in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of India, consist of a chain of Islands. They are typically reachable by ship (although there are some flights available). Many of these ships start off the mainland, and then hop from island to island (with boats coming out to meet them); we were traveling in one such ship to our destination, the islands of Kadamat.
