Suheli Par

Suheli Par

Suheli Par, located 47 km southwest of Kavaratti, is the most southwesterly of the Cannanore Islands. It consists of an encircling reef that encloses a largely open and shallow lagoon. Two small islets are located within the lagoon: at the northern tip, located adjacent to the outer reef, sits the small islet of Suheli Valiyakara (29 ha); in the south, located on the back-reef at the edge of the lagoon's central basin, lies the slightly smaller islet of Suheli Cheriyakara (28 ha).
