Tampara Birding Zone
On the northern fringe of Tampara Lake and just 6 km from Chhatrapur in Ganjam district, this wetland birdwatching area is best explored between November and March when migratory activity is at its peak. Forest trails give you a chance to move through the habitat quietly, and wildlife sightings are a real possibility if you visit early in the morning. Vehicle access here is moderate rather than straightforward, so factor that into your planning. A small entry fee in the mid range applies — see the fast facts for the current rate.
