Gahira Matha And Bhitarakanika Wildlife Sanctuary


The only marine wildlife sanctuary  of Odihsa and the crocodile reserve of Odisha co exits in the district of Kendrapada. Gahiramatha beach is the home for olive ridley turtles  who every year migrate here to lay their eggs and welcome their next generation.  This soothing beach with its innocent little sea creatures  is a different world  and it parts the Bay of Bengal from the mangroves  and wild forest of the Bhitarakanika National Park.

Bhitarakanika  is the  home of ferocious and humongous salt water crocodiles whose length vary from  5 mt to 7 mt. This wildness and adventure  makes it one of the most visited places in Odisha.  Boat rides are available through the creek and streams among the dense mangroves and grasses of Indigo bush. A large variety of animal species like sambar deer, spotted deer, fox, hyena, jackals, king cobra and 8 varieties of Kingfishers can be   spotted here. While  sailing through the streams you may come across some of the ancient temples  inside this National park.
