About Thulhaagiri
Known as the “Island of Birds,” Thulhaagiri’s coconut palms and coastal vegetation attract herons and white terns. Its lagoon offers easy snorkeling with schools of surgeonfish, butterflyfish, and occasional rays. The surrounding reef features coral overhangs and vibrant fish life, appealing to divers. Historically, it was a coconut plantation supplying nearby communities. Compact and shaded, the island’s sandy paths create a relaxed setting. Shallow reefs are ideal for underwater photography, while nearby dive sites offer gentle currents, making them suitable for beginners. Its avian population and rich marine life make Thulhaagiri a small but diverse destination.
