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 infrastructure one can get on this island only during the high tide. Hence the picnic spot has been closed. However you can take a motor boat ride from Taki to go near the island.

Motor Boat Charges - Rs. 30/- per head, Rs. 600-800/- for full boat.
Several species of birds like parrot, bulbul and kingfisher are seen here.
Since it is impossible to picnic at Machranga Dwip, you can instead check out the wide range of picnic spots at Taki.
