Chandbali Birding Zone
Five kilometres from Chandbali in Bhadrak district, this estuarine habitat is one of those low-key spots that serious bird-watchers tend to return to each winter when migratory species pass through. November to March is the prime window, and a round trip fits within about four and a half hours. Access requires a bit of effort — vehicular access is moderate — and shade and parking are available on site; a small entry fee applies, so check the fast facts for the current rate.
