Rasol Birding Area
Perched at the edge of a reservoir about 12 km from Rasol in Dhenkanal district, this birding area draws winter visitors of the feathered kind as reliably as it draws birders with binoculars. Forest trails and wildlife sightings round out a day that runs roughly 4–5 hours return — perfectly manageable as a day trip. Shade and parking are available, though vehicle access is moderate so factor that into your plan. A small entry fee applies — see the fast facts for the current rate, which falls in the mid range.
