Nalabana In The Heart Of Chilika Lake Is A Paradise For Bird Watchers

There’s no doubt that Chilika Lake is one of the most spectacular places in Odisha where visitors throng round the year. While the lake makes up for a gorgeous sight, there are even other spots and islands around Chilika which adventure lovers cannot afford to miss out on.

One of them is Nalabana Island which houses a bird sanctuary, is a central refuge point for the migratory birds and is known to host a large species of birds including flamingos, sea eagles and other unique birds. To reach this island, one needs to go on a boat from Balugaon town and it will take approximately 45 minutes to be there. Though the island looks gorgeous throughout the day, the beauty is at its peak in the early morning hours. Go just before sunrise and catch the birds in their morning action!

All in all, this is a place where one can spot incredible birds in abundance and have an excellent birding experience.
