(18) Kalas Dwip:

Kalash Island, in South 24 Parganas Division, is a part of Sundarbans National Park that lies at the estuary of the River Matla. Being outside the Core area of Sundarbans, visitors with armed guards are permitted to get down on the beach. 

During winter, it is the breeding ground of the Olive Ridley Turtles that arrive in great numbers on this beach for nesting and egg laying. 

Kalash Island is also the home to many varieties of coastal birds and is specially a good place to spot uncommon waders.

 The Great Stone-curlew or Great Thick-knee is sighted on this beach. Access by boat to this beautiful beach is usually from the Kalash Camp of Forest Department. 

A visit to Kalash Island combines night staying option at this camp, however, an excursion can be done in 3 Night or 4 Night Trip.
