Mangalajodi
Satapada, Odisha, India
Mangalajodi is another part of the Chilika Lagoon, a birdwatcher's paradise, but with a different feel from Nalabana. It is a significant wetland area and a key breeding ground for a massive number of migratory birds. What makes Mangalajodi special is its community-based eco-tourism model, where for mer bird poachers have turned into protectors and guides. This conservation success story is an inspiration. Visitors can take a quiet paddle boat ride through the shallow marshes, getting up close and personal with the birds without disturbing them. The experience is more intimate and focused on the birds themselves.
