Mangalajodi, a small hamlet located at the northern part of
Chilika Lake, is the cherished place for migratory birds during winter season.
The birds from far-off places like Siberia used to visit this wetland for their
survival in frigid time. Though the brackish lake Chilika attracts large number
of foreign birds during this time, due to rampant poaching now-a -days one will
find decreasing count of above birds. Mangalajodi offers an alternative place where
local people are educated to preserve the biosphere. The wetland has two to
three feet level of water during winter season. Local people will act as guide
to identify various types of migratory birds. Some enterprising people have
developed eco-tourism to attract tourists from different parts of India and
abroad. It is located near NH5 and is only seven kilometers from Tangi
(Khordha), Odisha.
