Bankiput - A Virgin Beach - Bike Trip From Kolkata to Bankiput

On 17 March it was a sunny Saturday and we(Argho and Anibaran) throttled our bike for a one-night weekend trip at Bankiput. Our bike trip from Kolkata to bankiput was started at 05:30 a.m. in the morning and bankiput is around 173km from Kolkata and it took around three and a half an hour to reach there. it was around 10:00 o'clock when we stopped our bike there. 

Contai is easily accessible through trains and buses from Kolkata so you can also visit there by bus or train but Udukku 13 is a biker group so we visit there with our bikes but Reserved trains like Tamralipta, Duronto, Kandari, and Paharia express go there so you can take them to visit Bankiput. Our destination was Bankiput. Tamralipta Express is one of the best and cheapest trains so you can prefer it among others.

  There is one and the only Hotel near the beach called Hotel Jhinuk. This was a basic Hotel but maintained very well and mostly the hospitality was so good. Jhinuk is the 02 storied building with 06 Double bedded ac and non-ac rooms and one 01 four-bedded room with ac/non-ac facility(optional). We were more excited to go to the beach so we just changed and ran to the beach.

Actually, Bankiput Beach is the place where Hoogly river meets with the Bay of Bengal or you can say it's the point where the Bay of Bengal starts. so in the day time, there is very less water on the beach and Bankiput is a village of fisheries family. We have seen a lot of fisherman Boats. Bankiput beach is a long beach with a jungle of mangrove trees that you can see in the pictures. Mainly the beach water is regulated by tidewater. when it is low-tide water is low away from the beach but when it's hightide water is just beside the hotel.

We enjoyed a lot there the whole day and at night we had a great dinner at a hotel and feel the strong tides at the night beside the hotel and the next day early in the morning we got back to our places at Kolkata.

Points to Remember while Visit to Bankiput Beach:-

• Go there after confirming the time of high tide otherwise, there is no use to go there because except high tide water level is very low at other times.
• The place is so calm and full of natural beauty so nature lovers will enjoy there more.
• There are some other places you can visit and it is KapalKundla temple and Dariyapur Lighthouse etc.
• Try to grab all the arrangements like snacks, drinks, and other things from Contai because its only the nearest market there.
