Many people have asked us if there are any risk of snakes or insects in Island. There is no fear of snakes and insects in Mousuni. But yes, don’t board the fisherman’s boats without permission or touch.

There is no problem with the mobile network on Island 4G connectivity works fine. But mobile networks become a problem when there are many guests. There are some camps that provide free WiFi. 

From Sealdah take Namkhana local and get down to Namkhana. Then reach the 10-mile or 7-mile ghat by toto. By boat across the Chinnai River, Toto will take you to the camp. If you go by road, you have to drive to Bakkhali via Amtala, Diamond Harbor, and Kakdwip to reach Namkhana, and then drive 10-mile or 7-mile ghat parking. Esplanade to Bakkhali bus service is available. 

Mousuni Island – a beautiful blend of sea, sun, sand, river, and isolation. The unexplored island may be used as a weekend getaway from work-related stress and challenging situations. But, before we get into the intriguing complexities of this relatively unknown vacation destination, let’s go over some background information.

Mousuni Island is a little island in the “Sunderban” delta, far from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Mousuni Island is regarded as one of the best one-day weekend escapes from Kolkata. Mousuni Island is around 138 kilometers from Kolkata through Namkhana. Mousuni Island is a virgin island found within a Namkhana block subdivision. During the British occupation of India, the island was found. The island was largely used by the British to carry salt and dried fish. Because fishing and agriculture are the two main sources of income for the population of Mousuni Island, visitors to the island commonly see local fishermen drying their fishing nets in the sun or mending their trawlers, as well as local women weaving new fish nets. The fun and excitement don’t stop once you board the ferry to Mousuni Island. Wildlife enthusiasts, bird watchers, and landscape photographers all go to Mousuni Island.

Next, ask locals for directions to the 10 Mile Bazaar, where you must turn right to reach the Patibunia Ferry Ghat. You may keep your own bike at the Patibunia Ferry Ghat or you can ride across on it. Boats frequently transport motorbikes to the jetty. After crossing the river from Patibunia Ferry Ghat, you must ask a local where  LAVICA DELUXE COTTAGE & RESORT  is located.

From Namkhana Station, you can reserve a toto, Maruti van, motor van, or Maximo (depending on your group size) for either Putibunia Ghat or Hujjuter Ghat. Another option is to take a bus from Namkhana Bus Stand to 10 Mile Bazaar. After crossing the river from the Patibunia Ferry Ghat, get toto at a rickshaw stop and ask for the  LAVICA DELUXE COTTAGE & RESORT .
