People may go to Frasergunj and Henry Island for birding and photography. These places are really isolated from crowd and one can go there to get peace for a day. If you can go by walk you will get proper rural vibes, activities, get to know the local people, talk to them and know their activities. You will really get different tastes from those villages. How to go: For Frasergunj and Henry Island, if you follow the map you can see both goes in opposite direction from the main road. The main road is a straight one which connects Namkhana and Bakkhali. Towards Bakkhali, you need to take left to Henry Island and take right for the Frasergunj . Yes you can hire auto from the main road, Adjust the price as they won't tell you the fair one. We were crazy as we go and come back by walk. ha ha. Keep sufficient drinking water and dry foods with you. 3/4 people can create a very good company as the nature diversity can influence different people in different way. We have stayed in Amarabati hotel. To be very frank this is not a bad hotel. It has it's own canteen so you do not have to go outside for food. They cook well and the service is also good. Sea beach is 15 min away by walk and the good thing is you can pass through villages, see the localities and take photographs. You will definitely have a good experience for a weekend trip. Must try
