Kolabira Bird Observation Area
Around 12 km from Kolabira in Jharsuguda district, this reservoir-edge site draws seasonal waterbirds and makes for a pleasant half-day outing between November and March. Forest trails run through the area, and wildlife sightings are part of the draw alongside the bird-watching. Vehicle access is moderate, so plan accordingly. A small entry fee in the mid range applies — the fast facts carry the current rate — and shade and parking are on hand when you arrive.
