Route is fairly simple - if you know the route to Bakhkhali. If not, you have to go till Namkhana and then cross the river by boat (3 mins ride). You can take your car also, there are arrangements to take the car across. From there, you go towards Bakhkhali, till a point where there is a bifurcation. The right goes to Bakhkhali, left to Henry's Island.
There is an hotel (I forget the name) which can be booked from Bikash Bhaban in Salt Lake. Let me look up and I will try to provide more details |
