The picturesque sea beach with pristine serenity is what describes the village Bakkhali Frasergunj best. Bakkhali Frasergunj is located in the proximity of Sundarban and is just 3-4 hours drive from the city of Kolkata. Sir Andrew Fraser , the Lieutenant General of Bengal had discovered this place during early twenty century ( 1903-1908 ) and hence the place is named after him. A dilapidated house at Bakkhali Frasergunj stands as an witness of Andrew Fraser's inhabitation at this place.
The 8 km long beach is least crowded ( except holidays ) unlike Digha & Shankarpur and Mandarmani and is ideal for driving or riding bi cycle. A silent walk through the beach specially during sunset can thoroughly refresh you. You can visit the Sundarban crocodile project at Bhagbatpur to add fun to your leisure. An walk through the tunnel of mangrove forest to Henry's island is quite an experience. If you are looking for complete serenity to detoxify yourself or spending some uninterrupted moments with your loved one , Bakkhali Frasergunj is the place you must be at. There are several small islands in the vicinity of Bakkhali Frasergunj which you might take a trip to.
On return journey you may chose to drop in Kapilmuni Ashram at Sagardwip which is not too far from Bakkhali Frasergunj. A Three days & Two nights stay at Bakkhali Frasergunj could be an ideal detoxifying and rejuvenating tour if you are really tiered and looking for a break.
