Hansua Mangrove Walk

14 km

Also around 14 km from Paradip, the Hansua Mangrove Walk takes you along an interpretive trail through tidal channels and mangrove vegetation — a quiet, grounding experience that's quite different from a typical forest walk. Bird-watching along the way is a genuine draw, and November to March offers the most comfortable conditions. Shade and parking are on hand, and the road access is moderate. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
