 Queen
of natural beauty, Chilika, the largest brackish water lake in Asia
covering an area of over 1,100 sq. km is a great attraction for the
tourists for fishing, bird watching and boating. In winter Chilika
aflutters with thousands of indigenous and migratory birds of many
varieties from far and near - even from the distant Siberia. The
fabulous beauty of Chilika which has inspired poets to sing its glory
and which can be best enjoyed from Balugaon, Barkul, Rambha and Satpada
must be seen to be believed. One can also have a glimpse of the lake
from the moving trains and vehicles on the road near these places. The
atmosphere is just serene and undisturbed amidst the blue expanse of
water on one side and an evergreen range of hills on the other. Dotted
with a host of islands with romantic names, a cruise in Chilika will be
a life-long memory.
Best time to
visit : October to June.
