Gonasika Birding Sector
Sitting about 15 km from Ghatgaon in Keonjhar district, this forest-edge habitat is the kind of place serious bird-watchers and nature walkers plan a dedicated morning around.

Shade and parking are available, though amenities are otherwise basic, so come prepared. A small entry fee applies — check the fast facts for the current rate before you go.
