Odisha’s World of Wonders

The Diversity and Richness of the Flora and Fauna of the State Attracts Eco-Tourists From Around the World.

Olive ridley turtles in millions, travelling thousands of miles to nest on its beaches...tigers that roam through the autumnal splendour of luxuriant and old sal forests...saw-toothed crocodiles and gharials whose home is the splenditerous Satkosia Gorge...dancing dolphins cavorting near Asia’s biggest brackish water lake...a fabulous mangrove eco-system waiting to be discovered afresh...horseshoe crabs, 480 km coastline and also a famous picnic spot at Chandipur beach, where one can witness an unforgettable feat of nature and can literally walk into the sea when the sea disappears for almost 5 kilometers two times a day as the tide ebbs and then slowly returns during high tide. Odisha has all this and many other allurements for intrepid eco-tourists looking for meaningful encounters with new worlds, the people and animals who inhabit them.

 The geographic narratives of Odisha’s coastal region and luxuriant forestlands are richly involved in the dissemination of the state’s cultural delights and wilderness heritage. Visitors come here to enjoy enriching experiences of its marine heritage and forest culture and in the process are exposed to the local economic activities, lifestyles, beliefs and customs of the villages shaped by their richly accoutred environs, be it waterfront or forest enclave living. Encounters with the land and the people make for a richer understanding of the dependences and emotional ties that bind the two, and in some small measure, through correct eco-tourism practices, visitors add their shared experiences to enhance the world of these communities.

Odisha’s Protected Area expanses (about 4.25 percent of its total geographical area) are best experienced by the ecotourist looking for a unique and learning-giving holiday. Its topography, a rich amalgam of sea and land, is delineated by the verdant Eastern Ghats and the floodplains of its roiling rivers and astonishing marine expanses.
