For tourists looking for an awe-inspiring nature experience, Odisha’s Tikarpada Wildlife Sanctuary is the perfect destination. Established in 1975, this sanctuary stretches across an amazing 796 sq km of tropical wet evergreen forests and swamps. It has a rich diversity of species and is home to a variety of fauna such as Leopards, Elephants, and Crocodiles. Plant life includes Sal Trees, which are extremely rare – making this one of the few places left in India where they can be seen in abundance. Visitors can take a pleasant guided trek through the dense foliage-filled streets and explore beautiful lakes filled with towering water lilies and Sunderbans type estuarine wetland vegetation. A trip to the sanctuary unfolds opportunities to encounter numerous colorful birds along the way!
