Chilika Shore Birding Point
About 15 km from Brahmagiri in Puri district, this spot along the northern Chilika shore is set up for serious bird-watching rather than a casual stroll. Forest trails add some variety, and November through March is when wildlife sightings are most rewarding. Vehicle access is moderate, so factor that into your planning. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate — and the site has shade and parking to keep the group comfortable through the morning hours.
