Chipilima Bird Observation Point
Tucked along the Mahanadi river corridor just 4 km from Chipilima in Sambalpur district, this forest birding spot rewards visitors who come between November and March when sightings are at their best. Forest trails give you room to move quietly, and the shade on site helps during longer observation sessions. Access is moderate rather than easy, so a capable vehicle is worth thinking about. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate — and parking is available.
