Uttan Vashi

The information in this post might be outdated

Also called as Tree of Life island, Uttan Vashi is a small and completely uninhabited island and surely a true hidden gem. If you'd like to understand this place better, we'd say befriend one of the local fishermen who are very friendly and will be happy to give you a crash course on the area’s history.

Why We Love It: Visiting this island is somehow homey and adventurous at the same time. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to be the only human on an island, head here. There's literally only rocks and a few trees. The fishing community has an annual tradition wherein they sail to the island, pray, and then enjoy a picnic and swim with their families. 

How To Get There: Take an auto to Gorai Beach and then a boat with the local fishermen. It's a good 30-45 minutes boat ride to get there.
