Machranga Deep

Machranga Deep is a small island situated in the middle of the Ichamati river near Taki in North 24 Parganas of West Bengal. It used to be an excellent picnic spot during the winter season. But nowadays, due to excessive mud and lack of proper jetty one can get on this island only during the high tide. Therefore the picnic spot has been closed.

Motor Boat Charges - Rs. 30/- per head, Rs. 600-800/- for full boat.
