All You Must Know About Visiting Chilika Lake

 

One of Asia's largest lakes is Chilika, located on India's east coast and home to a diverse avifauna. India's best wetlands have been characterized as being found here along the lagoon's edges, and it should come as no surprise that these draw a variety of water birds, both migratory and local. More than 25,000 fishermen rely on Chilika's marshes for their livelihoods, and the lake has been recognized as a Ramsar Site under the global agreement on wetlands. The ecology in this area provides a habitat for many endangered species and sustains a rich biodiversity. You can find Best Resorts in Chilika Lake.

 

Weather

The greatest seasons to visit Chilika Lake are in the fall, winter, and spring since this is when migrating birds arrive.

 

Animals and Plants

There are over 200 different marine species here, with crabs being the most prevalent. Additionally, there are several kinds of snakes, lizards, skinks, dolphins, and sea turtles in this area. Although sightings of the rare Irrawaddy Dolphin are few and their numbers are in question, sightings have occurred in Chilika.

 

Spotted deer and blackbuck may be seen in the woodlands and hills surrounding the lake. The reason Chilika is rightfully well-known is for its abundant birds. More than half of the 150 species of birds that have been identified here are migratory, having flown in from places like Siberia, Mongolia, and other regions of northern Asia, the Caspian Sea in central Asia, as well as (closer to home), Tibet, and Ladakh. Waterfowl, which travel here in greater numbers than anyplace else on the Indian landmass, includes Shovellers, pintails, bar-headed geese, Brahminy ducks, the Garganey duck species, many kinds of pochards, and pelicans. Hundreds of waders may be seen in addition to flamingos and pheasant-tailed jacanas. You can stay at the Best Resort in Odisha.
