Cheriyam and Tilakkam Islets

Kalpeni Island, Jammu and Kashmir, India
Cheriyam and Tilakkam are two smaller, uninhabited islands that form a single atoll with Kalpeni. These islets are the epitome of a secluded tropical paradise. They are known for their pristine, untouched beaches, lush greenery, and the rich marine life in the surrounding waters. Cheriyam Island, in particular, is noted for its extensive coral debris, a direct result of the 1847 storm. The sheer volume of coral boulders along its shores is a fascinating sight and a testament to the powerful forces of nature. The islets are accessible by a short boat ride from the main island of Kalpeni. They offer a perfect escape from the main tourist area, providing a sense of solitude and a chance to truly connect with nature. The waters around the islets are ideal for snorkeling and exploring the coral reefs in their most natural state. The tranquility of these islets is what sets them apart, making them a favorite for those who value privacy and unspoiled natural beauty. It?s an opportunity to walk on shores where few have been, to swim in waters that are exceptionally clear, and to feel like you have your own private island paradise.
