BAKKHALI -->

BAKKHALI BEACH

The long, wide beach of Bakkhali stretches from Bakkhali to Frazergunj. The water and the beach appear grey, as the land slopes into the Bay of Bengal, but the land and the water are both clean. The beach is strong enough to bear cycles and cars, but some spots are soft and sinkable. The mangrove forest near the beaches has no tigers, but is nonetheless a tourist spot.

The Bakkhali Beach is perhaps the most breathtaking beach. The 7 km coastline is not just the most stunning view of the sea merging into the land, but is also very sparsely populated, which accentuates its beauty.

A silent walk on the beach, especially at sunset, is as therapeutic as it is beautiful.

HENRYS ISLAND

Henry Island is named after a European who surveyed land in the area in the late 19th century. Have a look at the view from the watch tower at Bakkhali and do walk to the beach. The walking trail goes through a stretch of mangrove jungle accessed by crossing a small bamboo bridge. The fisheries department has dug more than 50 ponds occupying over 25 bigha on 100-hectares of land. Trees such as gora, kankru, palm, naturally growing sundari and hetal have been planted.

How to Reach: Turning left from Jelighat stop which is 4 km before Bakkhali. On driving some 1.5 kilometers, the lodges can be seen one by one.

JAMBUDEEP ISLAND

Jambudwip is the name of an isolated island situated in the Bay of Bengal about 8 km to the southwest of Fraserganj/Bakkhali in the South 24 Parganas district. It remains uninhabited except in the fishing season, i.e. between the months of October and February. In the past, fishermen came from the Chittagong and Noakhali areas of Bangladesh for fishing. They developed special aptitude and traditional skills for marine fishing. The main reasons for using Jambudwip were the island's proximity to the fishing grounds, the presence of a natural creek for safe harbouring of their boats, and supply of drinking water.

How to Reach: First to reach Frazergunj then take a motor boat for Jambu Dwip.

SAGAR ISLAND

A large uninhabited island of 300 sq. km, Gangasagar or Sagar is located, where the River Hooghly meets the sea. To reach Sagar, guests have to drive 20 km back from Bakkhali to Namkhana and then avail the ferry service to cross Muriganga to arrive at Sagar Island's Kachuberia jetty. The Gangasagar Mela that is organised in January on Makar Sankranti is known to attract millions of Hindu pilgrims to this island, to the temple of Kapil Muni and take a dip where the Ganges meets the Bay of Bengal. This island is also a popular bird watching spot due to its agricultural habitat, small river channels and mangrove swamps. The Sagar Island is a famous Hindu Pilgrim place. It is also called Ganga Sagar. Every year on Makar Sankarnti, thousands of pilgrims gather in the Kapil Muni temple. It is known as Ganga Sagar Fair. In 2008, about 500,000 pilgrims took the holy dip where the Hooghly meets the Bay of Bengal on the occasion of Makar Sankrati. Ganga Sagar Fair is the second largest congregation of mankind after the holy Kumbha Mela. The Island is also rich in Mangrove Swamps. This makes Sagar Island all the more distinctive and a favored tourist destination.

How to Reach: Sagar Island lays only 135 kms away from Kolkata. Driving through the Diamond Harbor road can be reached the Harwood point, no.8 Lot Ghat. From there by crossing over a barge, can be reached Kochuberia on the other side. Then again drive for another 30 kms to reach Sagar Island.

Just 2 km north of Bakkhali is the twin town Frazerganj, which is named after Andrew Fraser. Fraser, in early 1900s, tried to build the area into a resort, which he couldn't as the waves frequently washed the constructions. His office ruins can still be seen here. A Wind Energy Farm that generates 1 MW and is soon going to be extended to produce 2 MW is located in Frazerganj.

How to Reach: Tourists can avail the direct buses to Bakkhali that are available from Esplanade in Kolkata. From Bakkhali, can reach Frazergunj by hiring a cycle van. Some tourists also hire cars directly from Kolkata to reach Frazergunj. Train to Namkhana from Sealdah and cross the Hatania Doania River on a boat and a bus from the other side of the river to reach Bakkhali.

How We Visited All the Bakkhali Tourist Places – Our Holiday Story

We found that there were three holidays together this year. So we quickly made a holiday plan. Bakkhali Beach is best for us because it’s near Kolkata and easily connects by bus/train/private car.

Sealdah to Namkhana train for Bakkhali – First option

We took the train from Sealdah to Namkhana station early in the morning. There are two popular Sealdah to Namkhana local trains. One is at 5:12 am and 7:14 am, connecting from Laxmikantapur (search Sealdah to Laxmikantapur rail timetable). Afterwards, the same train runs between Laxmikantapur to Namkhana. The journey time is 2.5 hours.

After that, we took a local van for Ferighat, and the fair was 7 rupees per person. Riksha and Toto’s are also available. We crossed the river “ Hatania-Doania ” by paying rupees 1+toll tax and 1 rupee per person.

After crossing the river, we took a van to the bus stand and paid seven rupees. There are several options for going to Bakkhali, like Maruti, toto, bus, etc. Bus fare is nominal, just 22 rupees, as it is a local journey.

It takes 1 hour by bus. But we chose Maruti as a private vehicle; it reaches the destination in 20 minutes for 350 rupees. The share option is also available.  The total journey time is 3.5 hours from Sealdah to Bakkhali.

Kolkata to Bakkhali ac Volvo bus from Esplanade – Second option

Kolkata (Esplanade) to Bakkhali direct AC bus (ACT15) running on Saturday and Sunday (via Behala- Thankurpukur-Kakdwip-Namkhana) fair is 255 rupees. Departure time is 7:30 am.

Non-AC buses are available from Howrah to Bakkhali for 106 rupees and Esplanade to Bakkhali for 102 rupees. Service started from 6:00 am onward.

Good news, travellers! The government completed the work on the Bakkhali bridge, which is open now (This is my second trip). That means no need to cross the “Hatania-Doania” river.

Currently, Toto and personal vehicles are crossing this bridge, saving risk factors and time. Small cars and Toto directly go to Bakkhali from Namkhana station for 350 rupees to 400 rupees. Buses are now coming from Kolkata also. And water sports are just started.

Habra to Bakkhali Bus

Route E61, the West Bengal government (WBTS), starts a bus service for Bakkhali. Online and offline booking is available.

Route number E61

Reached Bakkhali and enjoy the High tide and bath

On the first day, we visited the beach only. We talk to the local people who know the “High Tide” time for a bath in the evening. Because most of the time is lean hours, and the water is far from the beach.

Lots of local food options are offered there by the local shops on Bakkhali Sea Beach. We ate seafish, and we had dinner at the hotel.

Visit Henry Island sea beach – Next full day of Sightseeing

The following day, we went to the most awaited Henry Island sea beach, under Frazerganj town, fishing harbour with a Toto, which charges 250 rupees. Henri Island is also a good beach with ‘fishing Veri’s; 162 Veri’s are there. It also has a watchtower. The government fish counter also buys local fish; the entry fee is 20 rupees per head. This Bakkhali picnic spot is ideal for families.

Next, we visit Benfish Fishing Harbour. It’s a fishy-smelling area because Lots of fishing boats are there. The entry fee is 10 rupees. You can go to”  Jambudweep Island ” by hiring a boat from there. It takes 1.5 hours, and the cost is 3000 approx. But remember, boats only take a merry-go-round on the islands and return. Next, we saw the Frazerganj  wind turbine  and  Mr Frazer’s house on Frazerganjsea beach . We can see some areas of Mousuni Island from here.

We returned to the hotel and went to the beach to enjoy the bath and then returned to the hotel. We went to the beach again in the evening, shopped, and had some seafood. We returned to the hotel around 9:00 pm.

On the third morning, our trip started with the  Bakkhali crocodile project  near the bus stand. There are a few deer and crocodiles, and “ Bishhalakshmi Temple ” is also there.

We are trying to go to the”  Banbibi temple ” near the beach, which is reachable on a walk. In the evening, I revisited the beach.

We returned to Namkhana with a Toto for 250 rupees the following day. Around 10:30 am, we took the train to Sealdah station.

Tourists may go to  Gangasagar Island  and Mousuni Island from here, and it’s also on the same route.
