Chetlat Island is one of the northernmost islands of the Lakshadweep archipelago, lying in the Arabian Sea off the west coast of India. It is around 56 km (35 mi) north of the island of Bitra and 432 km (268 mi) off the Indian coast. The island is about 1.4 km (0.87 mi) in length and 0.4 km (0.25 mi) in width at its widest point, covering an area of approximately 1.14 square km (0.44 square mi). With a predominantly Malayali population, it features a unique blend of ethnic culture and is predominantly reliant on fishing, coconut cultivation, and the production of coir for its economy. The residents here speak Malayalam, and the island represents a serene, tropical paradise with pristine white sandy beaches, rich coral reefs, and lush green coconut palms. Chetlat, like other Lakshadweep islands, is known for its untouched beauty and strikingly clear waters, offering a serene getaway for travelers. Access to the island is limited, and visitors typically need permission from the Lakshadweep Administration to visit.
