8 Km From Bakkhali | By a Boat Ride, Bakkhali, India Phone: Not AvailableAbout
Visitors can reach Jambu Dweep just 8 km from Bakkhali by a boat ride. This southern-most island remains uninhabited for few months as it goes underwater during that time. Once it resurfaces, temporary houses are built by fishermen. This is basically a Reserve Forest covering an area of 1950 hectares, which is home to many water birds and covered by mangrove trees. Apart from the human habitation, a common sight is mud crabs. The main attraction of Jambu Dwip is the island itself which is the home for a wide range of species of bird and reptile. Besides, you will be amazed to find such a great range of marine life, mainly fishes. Generally a motorised state boat takes approx 40 minutes to reach Jambu Dwip from Frazerganj Fishing Harbour.
