Kalash Islands, South Bengal – The Kalash camp is located beside the banks of the Bay of Bengal

The Kalash camp is located beside the banks of the Bay of Bengal and lying beside it is the Kalash beach. Created by forest conservation department the Kalash camp  spans over an area of 4 acres. The place is well protected with a fence of 10 feet high and 20 feet trench, and yet it is not sufficient enough to prevent Royal Bengal Tigers from coming to the beach in search of the sweet water pond located there. An outing in Kalash Island is really adventurous. Touring all alone in the beach is strictly prohibited and must be assisted by forest rangers as the island is often visited by the Royal Bengal tigers. The island remains uninhabited otherwise and the Olive Ridley turtles that come here for nesting during winter borders the beach.
