lagoons. Kiltan has a lime stone resource and this area

Suheli and Pitti is a wonderful fishing destination for the
inhabitants of Lakshadweep. This island is situated

of land. It is the reproduction place of Tern birds.
Their breeding time is January to March. It is a bird
sanctuary from 1962. Pitti is a rocky place direct landing
is impossible.
There is a high storm beach on the northern and southern ends of the island. The fierce storm which hit the island in 1965 has left a line of coral boulders on the eastern shore. The lagoon on the west is shallow and is in the process of filling up.
The shallow lagoon does not allow larger boats to enter it through the passage during the low tide. Along the middle of the island is a solid like substratum and lime stones are cut for building purposes.
The island is fertile and thickly planted. The heat of the summer is unbearable and the people prefer to sleep outside on the beaches in cubicles made of cadjan leaves. Several such cubicles can be seen lined up along the western beach during summer months.
