Chilka Lake Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
Chilka Lake is spread over Khurda, Ganjam and Puri districts of Orissa. Balugaon and Rambha are two major towns serving as entry points for the lake. It is Asia’s largest salt-water lagoon and is separated from the Bay of Bengal by a sandy ridge. The pear-shaped lake spreads across 1,100 sq km, and has a unique ecosystem with a range of aquatic flora and fauna found in and around its brackish waters. An impressive array of bird life, both native and migrant, makes Chilka one of the best places in India for bird-watching, splashing around in the water and quiet relaxation.
Chilka Lake is designated as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.
