If you are tired of searching of a good picnic spot and you dont like too much crowed then this is the right place for you. Amazing place near kolkata, only 75 kms from Kolkata. Last month I went with my family and seriously we enjoyed a lot. This small island is located between Bhasa River and Ichamati River. And most amazing thing is that you can see the view of Bangladesh!
I went to Hasnabad first and then I booked a motor boat from ferry dock to reach Machranga Dweep or Dwip. This ammazing island is covered by trees and its ideal for fun-filled day trip. Awesome sightseeing and great nature walk over the green field. The most spectacular view is that sun over Ichamati River. From this island I have seen a really amazing view of Bangladesh and I fall in love with this place.
And we stayed in Taki for 2 days and for your information you will not get any hotel or accommodation in the island. Dining also available in Taki. And price is really cheap. So, best timing to travel in day and you can travel throughout the year except rainy season.
It is safe because you are going on day time and the local people are really helpful. We arranged a picnic, take a boat ride and also have a swim on the river. Really we had a great fun.
I am planning to go again and I already recommend this place to all of my friends. Now I am telling to you all. Have fun and enjoy every moments of your life.
