Kiltan North Lighthouse

Kiltan North Lighthouse is a coastal navigational lighthouse located at the northern tip of Kiltan Island in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, India. Maintained by the Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships, it guides vessels navigating the Arabian Sea around the Lakshadweep archipelago. The white masonry tower stands near the island's lagoon, reef and coconut groves, and serves as a prominent landmark for the low-lying coral island.

Visitors can expect a white coastal lighthouse tower situated at the northern end of Kiltan Island surrounded by sandy coastline, lagoon waters, coral reef and coconut vegetation. The exterior of the tower and its compound can be viewed from outside; interior access is generally restricted and requires prior permission from lighthouse authorities. The setting offers open sea and lagoon views, with quiet island surroundings and limited visitor infrastructure.

Kiltan Lighthouse was established and is maintained by the Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships (DGLL), Government of India, to provide navigational guidance for shipping in the Arabian Sea and around the Lakshadweep archipelago. It is listed by DGLL at position approximately 11°28.9' N, 73°00.4' E with a masonry tower structure commissioned in the late 20th century to improve safety of navigation around the coral atolls.
