About

"Peda ting ting" is Chakma for "eat till you are full". The island has a kitchen serving bamboo chicken, lake fish, pork, bamboo-shoot curry and pajon, a few huts to stay in, and nothing else but water and hills. Boats on the day loop stop here for lunch; order ahead through your boatman, as food is cooked to the group.

Getting there: By boat from the town ghats, about 45 minutes, on the way to Shuvolong.

Things to do

  • Order bamboo chicken and lake fish ahead through the boatman.
