I had called up Madhu Behera {9692122456} and Sanjay Behera for booking the boat ride. Sanjay also has his home stay accommodation in the Mangalajodi Village. Both the boatman and the guide were extremely informative about the migratory birds, My wife who is an extremely avid bird watcher was impressed with the extensive information provided by the guide during the boat tour. I have rarely seen such a huge collection of birds though we were travelling at the end of the season. We have visited several similar sites in India but I would rate Managaljodi as the best. I am lucky I chose to avoid the over hyped Chilka dolphin satapada tour and chose Managljodi instead. Just call Sanjay Behera on 9337810040 or 9090322190 and he will take care of everything. We spent around 1 hour at his home stay where we were treated very warmly by Sanjay and his family. The rooms though basic are very clean and well lit. .

I must say that it was a lifetime experience staying at the ecotourism resort in the midst of the jungle and hearing the jungle sound throughout the night. And to top it up watching the sun rise in the valley together with the magnificent view of the gorge. The resort is managed by group of local women who took care of the guests like their own family and cooked delicious food as per the wishlist of the guests. Hats off to their hospitality. A must visit

Well, for nature and wildlife lovers and no-lovers also, Kuldiha Widlife Sanctuary is good place. Start from either Balasore/Panchaligeswar, and spend one whole day within the forest. During evening time, try to spend some time near Kuldiha Forest Ranger Office to take a chance to get our National Animal. Luckily you can see deer, elephant, peacock, horbill, bison etc. The journey within the forest will be adventouros and walk to waterfalls may lead to a sudden visit to tiger. The greenery will melt you if you are adventorous. We went there in March,2019 and it was somehow hot but manageable.

Debrigarh is 21kms from burla. The driving route from Hirakud Dam to Debrigarh is awsome. The road is near to the dam, so view is awsome. Spotting of wild life is gurantted if you are visiting debrigarh.Now the sanctuary authorities have stopped private vehicle inside the park, instead they are offering SAFARI vehicle having 8 seats, cost-rs2000 per trip for around 3hours. During our Safari, we spotted deer, sambar, wild boar, bosin or gaur, lots of peacocks and koel birds. Pease take food items with you, as you will not find any eatables there.Cottages near to the park is very costly, around rs5000 per day for double sharing room. so plan your trip accordingly.

this place is just 170 km bhubaneswar. you need just a motor vehicle and two days to spend your time in nature and away from crowd. best to make your stay in eco-tour nature camp (dangamala), govt. of odisha. it is inside the sanctuary so that you can enjoy wildlife and birds around your room. best to select 4 beded or 3 beded room to enjoy it. if you are a bird watcher then think for khageswar one old care taker to spot them. on day one directly move to dangamala, stay and enjoy there. here you can find white croco's, hatchery firm. next day morning back to the spot "khola"without baggage but with your camera for a boat ride , spot kingfishers and huge crocodiles. during your boat ride take a halt at danagmala, move to canteen to take your breakfast, hold your bags, checkout and return to boat. after 2 hour more boat ride you will back to "khola" during your boat journey you may visit kanika temple, mangroove forests, and watch crocodiles from palm size to 20 feet long, king fishers , wild boar, dears, monkeys, iguana lizards etc. the boat driver srimant and his brother has good idea about the animals. after reaching dangamala, talk to old khageswar to call srimant.
