Kalash Island, in South 24 Parganas, is a part of Sundarbans National Park and lies at the estuary of the River Matla. This is tiger country. But being outside the core area, visitors with armed guards are permitted to get down on the beach of kalash. Access by boat to this wide beach is usually from the Forest Department's Kalash Camp which is upriver. Kalash has most of the coastal birds and is a specially good place to find uncommon waders. Great Thick-knees are a feature on the beach. A visit to Kalash combines the Sunderbans experience with bird-watching and a trip to a fisherman’s cove.
