(11) Kaikhali :
 |
| Ramkrishna Ashram |
Kaikhali, a small land adjoining Mohana (confluence) where Matla and Nimaniya rivers flow in to the Bay of Bengal, abounds in a variety of trees such as Goran, Golpata, Hental, Sundari, etc. One may also take a motor boat and cruise on the river Matla.
At Kaikhali there is an ashram set up by Nimpith Ashram. The area bears the signs of the devastating cyclone ‘Aila’ even now. Large fields remain barren as no crop can be cultivated because of salinity in the soil.

At Kaikhali, in the confluence of a rivulet with the mighty river Matla, change in the colour of water is distinctly visible – near the bank is muddy, but in the middle of the Matla has an identifiable greenish tinge.

The sunrise as well as sunset would look very beautiful there. The Matla is flowing so imposingly here that the human ego is bound to get subdued before her. If one is seeking blissful solitude then Kaikhali is the right place.
It’s stunningly beautiful, albeit very simple. And beauty in simplicity is always there. One can go to Joynagar railway station via Nimpith to board an evening train for Kolkata.
