Bhitarkanika National Park : It is a national park located in the Kendrapara District of Orissa in Eastern India. The park is home to the endangered Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), white crocodile, Indian python,King Cobra, black ibis, dartersand many other species of flora and fuana.
The national park was created in September 1998 from the core area of the Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary, which was created in 1975.The sanctuary is the second largest mangrove ecosystem in India.
Chilika Lake : It is the largest wintering ground for migratory birds on the Indian sub-continent. The lagoon hosts over 160 species of birds in the peak migratory season. Birds from as far as the Caspian Sea, Lake Baikal, Aral Sea and other remote parts of Russia, Kirghiz steppes of Mongolia, Central and southeast Asia, Ladakh and Himalayas come here. These birds travel great distances; migratory birds probably follow much longer routes than the straight lines, possibly up to 12,000 km, to reach Chilika Lake.
