Bitrā Par

Bitrā Par, Lakshadweep

A small reef of the northwestern Amindivi Islands, Bitrā Par is located 72 km southeast from Byramgore Reef and 75 km northwest from Kadmat.

The reef consists of a central lagoon with well developed reefs on the western side. The reefs of Bitrā Par are for the most part submerged — the only permanent land being the solitary Tree Island (also known as Bitrā Island) located at the northern end (coloured red in this image).
