Nijhum Dip, How to go

Nijhum Dwip is an offshore island in the Bay of Bengal situated in the extreme south of Hatia island which is separated by Hatia channel. There are several approaches to the island. Passenger launches everyday plies between Sadarghat in Dhaka to Tomoruddy Ghat of Hatia upazilla. Adventure tourists can hire a trawler from Tomoruddy to Nijhum Dwip. A trawler may cost between Tk 1,200 and Tk 1,500 per day. Another approach is from Chittagong. A coastal passenger vessel plies between Chittagong and Nalchira Ghat twice a week. Our Star Holiday team took the sea-truck ride from Char Jabber Ghat to Nalchira Ghat at the the northern tip of Hatia which took around two and a half hours. For overnight stay in the island you have to contact the UNO of Hatia in advance for booking the bungalow on the island, or you can contact the DFO of Noakhali to stay at Nijhum Dwip forest office. You must carry your food and other necessities.
