Depending on the tide, you will explore the shipbreaking area from Bay of Bengal using a lifeboat of a ship, converted into fishing boat. Due to restrictions, you will not go inside the yard on foot, but rather get closer to different ships from the coastal side and explore the different yards from a boat for about an hour or so. Please note that the shipbreaking yard does not have bathroom facilities.
Afterward, you will be exploring ship junk yard and shops where you will find how one of the biggest recycling and reuse of waste materials are done. In addition to that, you will be taken to a beautiful site atop a nearby hill where you can have an excellent view of the sunset and have a cup of coffee while enjoying the sunset.
