Jatadhari River Estuary
Ten kilometres from Paradeep in Jagatsinghpur district, this coastal wetland is worth the trip between November and March when migratory birds are most active and the weather cooperates. Forest trails run through the area, and shade and parking are available, though vehicle access is moderate rather than straightforward. It's comfortably managed as a day outing. A small entry fee in the mid range applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
