The first Westerner to reach these islands was probably Vasco da Gama. The Portuguese followed him, took control of the islands, established a port and ruled an oppressive regime. In 1787, the ruler of Mysore, Sultan Hyder Ali, took control of the islands. However, he soon lost control to the British. It was not until 1956 that the British transferred control of the territory to the Indians. Therefore, this area is not rich in tourism. Despite the abundance of authentic magical islands that inhabit it. In Blackshead, pioneering tourists who have gone off the beaten track will experience a special experience of rural islands that specialize in fishing, diving, and weaving ropes from coconut fibers.
