Kalibhanjadia Mangrove Trail
Just 25 km from Rajnagar in Kendrapara, this mangrove interpretation trail is one of the more rewarding half-day outings in the Bhitarkanika region, doable as a round trip in about five hours. The forest trails wind through coastal woodland where bird-watching and wildlife sightings are the main draw, so bring binoculars and patience. November through March are the months most worth planning around. Shade and parking are on hand, and a small entry fee applies — check the fast facts for the current rate.
