Asia’s second largest inland brackish lagoon, Chilika Bird Sanctuary comprises of an evergreen range of hillocks at one side of the wide expanse of blue clean water sprawled over an area of 1,100 sq km, dotted with numerous islands having distinctly romantic names.

Chilika provides a spell binding scenic natural splendor for tourists, complemented with the sights and sounds of vivacious birds, reptiles, amphibians and other animal life. The best time to visit the sanctuary is between the months of October and June when a host of migratory birds join the local and indigenous species.
