Countless narrow creeks, the Chowdhury canal among them, thread through Nijhum Dwip between walls of keora. Take a small boat in at low tide and egrets, kingfishers and wintering migratory birds come within easy view. The same forest is the island's natural armour when cyclones arrive.
How to get there
A commonly used mainland route crosses from Chairman Ghat in Noakhali to Nalchira on Hatiya, followed by local road and water transport. Vessel type and departure can change with weather, tide, navigability and official restrictions; confirm locally on the day and follow current safety notices.
