Nijhum Dwip which means Quiet Island, is a small island
under Hatiya upazila. It is situated in Noakhali District in Bangladesh. Once

concealed by water for many years. The island slowly started to surface, and
since 1972 the forestry department has been involved in the planting of trees
and brush such as Bain, Keowra and Geowra. The forest, which is irrigated by
the bay, has also attracted a great number of bird species. By 1978, wildlife
was introduced to the island, and the eight spotted deer that were originally
released on the island have grown to a healthy population of approximately six
thousand individuals. From Hatia you can take trawler of Nijhum Dip. It will be
around 3 hours of trawler (water vehicle) journey based on the tide status of
the river.This island is an ideal place for tourists, specially during the
winter.
