Patora Bird Observation Area
Around 18 km from Nuapada town, this reservoir-edge site is one of the better spots in the district for watching winter migratory birds along forest trails. November through March is the prime window — that's when the migrants are around and the trails are at their most walkable. Vehicle access is moderate, so plan your route in advance. A small entry fee in the mid range applies — see the fast facts for the current rate — and shade and parking are available on site.
