Home to thousands of residents and migratory birds, the Chilika Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the most popular sanctuaries in Odisha. Armed with its repertoire of birds, the region attracts a lot of tourists throughout the year. These include flamingoes, egrets, white-billed storks, white-bellied sea eagles, open-billed storks, spoonbills, spotbilled pelicans, herons, stilts, seagulls and kingfishers, to name a few. Another aspect that sets apart Chilika Wildlife Sanctuary is the dolphins and aquatic crustaceans such as lobsters, prawns and large crabs. Spot a dolphin in the blue waters or a hundred species of fish that the Chilika Lake is home to. Apart from spotting wildlife, Chilika offers breathtaking views of the vistas. Take in panoramic views of the horizon from the two main isles—the Breakfast Island and the Honeymoon Island—the amazing sight will leave you speechless. Easily accessible from Puri, a tour of Chilika Wildlife Sanctuary is a must include in your itinerary if you are touring Odisha.
