Bichitrapur is a huge mangrove swamp, about 14 kms beyond the popular beach town of Digha.
Roadies need to follow SH57 and drive past past Talsari Beach.
Incidentally, Kolkata to Digha via Kolaghat, Contai = 200 kms.
Roadies need to park their cars/ bikes after reaching Bichitrapur and board a motor boat for a 15 minutes ride till the island at the confluence of the river and Bay of Bengal. Motor boats normally charge Rs.1,000 - 1,200 for upto 8 persons. The boat will leave you at the island for 20 - 30 minutes and return to pick you up.
There are no staying facilities in Bichitrapur.
It's best to stay in hotels in Digha, New Digha or Talsari.
